Berlin, Dec. 30 (SANA) The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has warned that 2025 was the most devastating year for millions of children globally, particularly in Gaza, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as well as other conflict zones.
The agency reported that hunger, disease, and war have severely affected children’s lives. For the first time, both Sudan and Gaza faced famine in the same year, caused by war and conflict. In Darfur, famine was recorded in 2024 and 2025, while in Gaza, parts of the city suffered famine during the summer after war and a blockade restricted aid. About 100,000 children in Gaza continue to face severe food insecurity.
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, more than 35,000 cases of sexual violence against children were documented, alongside the worst cholera outbreak in 25 years.Christian Schneider, Executive Director of UNICEF Germany, said, “Child hunger and poverty are not inevitable disasters—they reflect a failure in global policies and societal responsibility. Children bear the heaviest burden, despite being innocent.”
UNICEF reports that one in five children now lives in conditions of war, disease, or displacement—nearly double the figure from the mid-1990s—and grave violations against children and attacks on aid workers reached unprecedented levels in 2025.
The agency has launched a $7.66 billion appeal to fund its 2026 humanitarian operations, aiming to reach 73 million children with emergency aid and long-term support.
