Over eight million children in Sudan have faced nearly 484 days of school closures due to ongoing conflict between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which has severely damaged educational infrastructure. With operational school percentages as low as 13% in some regions and many teachers leaving due to unpaid salaries, the situation has been exacerbated by the RSF's recent seizure of El-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur. The UN describes the crisis as the world's worst humanitarian disaster, highlighting concerns over attacks on civilian infrastructure and child recruitment.
