Tawila’s Children, Resilience Amid Ruin
© UNICEF/Mohammed Jamal Two malnourished children receive food supplements at a health centre in Tawila, North Darfur, Sudan.
Tawila camp in North Darfur shelters over half a million internally displaced persons living in makeshift huts after sieges and mass violence, including reported mass killings in El Fasher, (UN Human Rights Office testimonies, 2025; UNICEF reporting, 16 Feb 2026).
Children such as 17‑year‑old Doha face disrupted education, trauma and food insecurity. UNICEF and partners provide healthcare, nutrition, psychosocial services and girls’ clubs to counter sexual violence and harmful practices including FGM, but skyrocketing needs and dwindling funds place children’s rights to safety, education and recovery at grave risk.
Urgent, sustained financing and protection measures are required to convert fragile hope into durable rights‑based solutions.
