Save the Children says about 500 children have died from hunger in Sudan, including two dozen babies in a government-run orphanage in the capital of Khartoum, since fighting erupted in the East African country in April.
The violence in Sudan is estimated to have killed at least 4,000 people, according to Liz Throssell, a spokesperson for the U.N. human rights office. Activists and doctors on the ground, however, say the death toll is likely far higher.
Save the Children said that between between May and July, at least 316 children, mostly under 5 years of age, died of malnutrition or associated illnesses in the southern While Nile province. More than 2,400 more children have admitted to hospitals in the past eight months with severe acute malnutrition — the deadliest form of malnutrition, it added.
Save the Children also warned that special food supplies for treating malnutrition were running critically low at 108 facilities it still operates across Sudan.
