Geneva: 'I saw homes destroyed, children displaced, and lives uprooted.' With these powerful words, UNICEF Representative to Sudan, Sheldon Yett, opened his account of a journey that took him from Port Sudan to Aj Jazeera and Khartoum - a journey through the heart of what he described as 'the world's largest humanitarian crisis.'

According to Emirates News Agency, Yett spoke at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, recounting scenes of devastation: looted warehouses, flattened buildings, overwhelmed health centres, and neighbourhoods crowded with families forced to flee. His message was clear - the situation in Sudan is not only dire, it is deteriorating fast, especially for the most vulnerable: children and their families.

'Over the past week, I travelled from Port Sudan to Aj Jazeera and Khartoum States, witnessing the impact that this crisis - the world's largest humanitarian crisis - is having on children and families,' Yett stated.

During his mission, Yett observed widespread destruction, including looted and demolished warehouses in Khartoum. He witnessed the loss of humanitarian supplies and saw communities uprooted, with children living in overcrowded neighbourhoods.

Yett also highlighted the rapid spread of cholera in these areas, with few health centres and nutrition treatment centres remaining functional. These centres are highly congested and struggling to cope with the influx of people needing assistance.
