ACT NOW: Families in Sudan are fighting to survive

Every war is a war on children Save the Children Action Network is the political voice for kids. On April 15th, violence broke out in Sudan’s capital city. [Tell Congress: When conflict strikes, kids are always at risk of being caught in the crossfire.]( [Take Action!]( Hi Friend, The situation in Sudan is spiraling out of control. Before fighting erupted last month, a third of the population needed support to survive. Impacted by climate disasters, disease outbreaks and poverty, families like Montaser’s were already facing a humanitarian crisis. He sells sweets after school just to afford one meal a day. [Now, as civilians shelter from artillery and airstrikes, their lives are in even graver danger — and it’s time our nation steps up to provide lifesaving aid.]( This violence is nothing short of devastating. It’s killed 500+ and injured nearly 5,000 civilians so far. Many more are thought to have perished without access to health care, water, food and electricity, while hundreds of thousands fled their homes to escape bombs and raids. Remember, Friend, war hurts a child’s whole world. It wrecks education, fractures families and destroys the carefree childhood every kid deserves.
