Tens of Thousands, Incl. Unaccompanied Children, Pour into Sudan's Qadarif as Conflict Rages On
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Sudan's warring parties continue to fight for control, UNICEF reports
some 50,000 people have fled and sought refuge in the eastern region of
Qadarif, with many more expected to arrive in the coming days as they
escape the violence. This is UNICEF program coordinator Nasra Islan.

Nasra Islan: "So far, 400 children have been registered here, of which
they are receiving several services, including mental and psychosocial
support. … As we have seen, many of the children and families are
missing their loved ones here."
