Escalating conflict since December 2025 has triggered mass displacement and an alarming surge in needs, pushing communities closer to IPC Phase 5 (Catastrophe) malnutrition levels.
New data shows 22 children have been killed and 89 injured since the temporary ceasefire on 17 April. This brings the number of children killed to almost 200 since renewed hostilities.
Children are paying an intolerable price for escalating militarised operations and settler attacks across the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, says UNICEF.
Despite a ceasefire taking effect on 17 April, 25 women have been reported killed and 109 reported injured over the past three weeks, highlighting the continued danger women and girls face.
The RCRC Movement urges all parties to the conflict to uphold their obligations under IHL, alleviating civilian suffering and fostering the path toward a peaceful future for South Sudan.
