**UNICEF: Darfur’s children face new catastrophe, 20 years after first crisis**

Twenty years after Darfur first shocked the world, UNICEF has warned that children in the region are once again trapped in a severe humanitarian catastrophe. This time, however, the crisis is drawing far less international attention and support. The United Nations agency said ongoing violence has devastated communities across Sudan and displaced millions of people. Children, in particular, are caught in an acute emergency, with limited access to food, water, and medical care.
