The head of the United Nations children\u2019s agency, Unicef, says Sudan is one of the worst places in the world for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Catherine Russell says it now has the largest displacement of children anywhere, with millions facing malnutrition and most not in school<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She is travelling to the country torn apart by more than a year of brutal civil war as warnings of famine grow louder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pillars of Sudan’s food economy have collapsed, and both warring parties – the Sudanese army and a paramilitary group called the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) – are restricting the delivery of desperately needed aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Children were at the sharp end of this hunger crisis, Ms Russell told the BBC while en route in Nairobi: nine million don\u2019t get enough to eat regularly, and nearly four million face acute malnutrition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
