Children Arrive Alone After Fighting

Many children are arriving in the Sudanese town of Tawila. They are alone, without their parents. These children are survivors of a bad conflict. They are very scared and tired.

The fighting started when a military group took control of a city called el-Fasher. After this, more than 100,000 people ran away. Now, many come to Tawila. Aid workers have counted at least 400 children without families, but they think there are more. Every day, about 200 more children arrive.

The children saw and heard terrible things. A teacher says some children cannot speak. Other children have bad dreams. They walked for days in the desert to escape. They are afraid of the soldiers.

Tawila is a small town. It is now very full. There are already over 650,000 people who ran from other places. There is not enough food, water, or shelter for everyone.

The United Nations says the crimes in el-Fasher are very serious. The military group says it did not attack normal people. But every day, more hurt children arrive. The town must help them survive now and heal later.
