BRINK OF A FULL-SCALE CIVIL WAR. UNICEF REPORTS SEVERE VIOLATIONS OF CHILDREN'S RIGHTS ARE A, QUOTE, HOURLY OCCURRENCE. WITH ME NOW IS JOE ENGLISH, A SPOKESPERSON FOR UNICEF. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT BEEN FOLLOWING THE DEVELOPMENT IN SUDAN, EXPLAIN WHAT HAS BEEN UNFOLDING FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS. >> YEAH, IT HAS BEEN 100 DAYS OF ABSOLUTE HORROR. ANY CHILDREN IN THE U.S. ARE COMING BACK FROM A VACATION. CHILDREN, GOOD TIMES CAN FEEL LIKE A LIFETIME BUT THE REVERSE IS ALSO TRUE. TRYING TO IMAGINE WHAT IT MUST BE FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES WHO HAVE WOKEN UP TO THE SOUNDS OF GUNS OR THE SOUNDS OF ARTILLERY FOR 100 DAYS. HERE WE ARE, OVER THREE AND HALF MONTHS LATER, AND THERE IS NO END IN SIGHT. ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY, YOU HAVE FAMILIES THAT HAVE THEIR LIVES TURNED UPSIDE DOWN. WE KNOW OVER 400 CHILDREN HAVE BEEN KILLED. MANY HAVE BEEN INJURED. THERE ARE PARTS OF THE COUNTRY THAT HAVE COMMUNICATION BLACKOUTS AND A LACK OF ACCESS. WE CANNOT GET THEM INTO VERIFY THE NUMBERS. IT HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. CHILDREN WAKE UP EVERY DAY AND THEY ARE SCARED. FAMILIES ARE MAKING IMPOSSIBLE DECISIONS ABOUT CERTAIN THINGS. BUT WHERE DO THEY GO? WE KNOW HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS TRY TO GO TO THE BORDER. WE HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT IS GOING ON THERE, BUT THE SITUATION -- CHILDREN NEED PEACE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. >> YOU MENTIONED THE DIFFICULTY GETTING INTO THE REGION. WHAT HAS UNICEF BEEN ABLE TO DO TO HELP THESE CHILDREN THAT ARE IN SUCH A DIRE SITUATION? >> WE ARE REACHING CHILDREN WITH SAFE DRINKING WATER AND WITH NUTRITION. WHEN CHILDREN AND FAMILIES ACROSS THE BORDER, WE ARE GIVING THEM SOCIAL SUPPORT, TO BE ABLE TO UNPACK FROM THE EXPERIENCES THEY HAVE GONE THROUGH. WITH EDUCATION, THE REALITY IS AS FIGHTING CONTINUES, THERE ARE AREAS WE CANNOT REACH. WE NEED SUPPORT. WE NEED MEANINGFUL SUPPORT. WE NEED IT TO BE GUARANTEED, THAT WE CAN HAVE A CEASE FIRE. THAT WILL NOT BE ENOUGH. IT IS CRITICAL. SMALL AMOUNT, THE AMOUNT OF PERSIAN -- A PERSON CAN HELP CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE. UNICEF IS THERE. WE KNOW HOW TO TREAT THESE CHILDREN. THEY HAVE A HIGH PROTEIN PASTE THAT CAN BE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH. ANYONE WHO IS OUT THERE THAT WANTS TO HELP, IT IS POSSIBLE. IT CAN BE OVERWHELMING AND CAN FEEL DEMORALIZING, BUT ORGANIZATIONS LIKE YOU AND SETH -- UNICEF OR THE ONE MAKES A DIFFERENCE. >> ARE YOU GETTING THE TYPE OF SUPPORT FROM THE UNITED STATES AND OTHER WESTERN ALLIES THAT YOU NEED AND HOW MUCH CAN THE AVERAGE PERSON DO? >> THE U.S. GOVERNMENT IS ALWAYS A HUGE SUPPORTER OF UNICEF'S WORK. THEY ARE OUR BIGGEST DONOR FOR OUR UNITARIAN AID. THERE IS NEVER ENOUGH THOUGH. IT IS NOW 100 DAYS. WE KNOW ABOUT THE CRISIS IN UKRAINE. THE FOOD INSECURITY IN THE HORN OF AFRICA. WE RESPOND TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE CRISIS, WHEREVER THERE ARE CHILDREN IN NEED. WE WILL BE PROVIDING THAT SUPPORT ULTIMATELY, WE NEED MORE FUNDING. ANYONE THAT IS WATCHING AT HOME THAT DOES WANT TO SUPPORT UNICEF, YOU CAN GO TO OUR WEBSITE. THE SMALLEST AMOUNT CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE. ULTIMATELY, WHAT CHILDREN NEED IS SOLUTIONS. UNTIL THEN, ALL WE CAN PROVIDE IS A TEMPORARY RESPITE. WE WANT THEM TO BE ABLE TO GO BACK TO THEIR NORMAL LIVES AND TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND TO START BUILDING FOR A BETTER FUTURE. >> YOU MENTIONED THE NEED TO FIND SOME SORT OF BREAKTHROUGH IN TERMS OF A CEASE FIRE. >>> IT THE LIST IS TO
