Khaberni - Save the Children warned today, Thursday, that the ongoing war in Sudan for about 3 years has deprived more than 8 million children of education, in the longest period of school closure in the world.
The organization stated in a statement: "More than 8 million children - about half of the number of school-aged children - have spent 484 days without entering a classroom."
The organization confirmed that this is "the longest period of school closures in the world", surpassing the number of closure days during the coronavirus pandemic.
Sudan suffers from the effects of the ongoing war for 3 years, which has left tens of thousands dead and millions displaced, and has destroyed most of the health and educational infrastructure.
According to Save the Children, Sudan is facing "one of the worst education crises in the world, with many schools closed, while other schools have been damaged in the conflict or are being used as shelters."
