"My first and last wish is to feed and educate children," says Salwa, a mother in #Sudan. "This is the most important thing." A look at daily life for families caught in one of the world's worst humanitarian crises:

#Sudan is facing a famine crisis, particularly in conflict-hit areas that have been largely cut off from humanitarian assistance. "Therapeutic food, safe water and essential medicines and health services can save lives, but only if we can reach children in time," warns UNICEF's Lucia Elmi.

Federal changes made to #SNAP in July have already put millions of U.S. children at greater risk of hunger — impacting families in every community. Now, with the ongoing government shutdown, those challenges are compounding.

An estimated 130,000 children in Al Fasher, Sudan, are at a high risk of grave rights violations, with reports of abduction, killing and maiming, and sexual violence. UNICEF calls for an immediate ceasefire, safe, unimpeded humanitarian access, and the protection of civilians, especially children.

In the 1990s, writer and civil rights activist Maya Angelou served as a Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF Ambassador, lending her voice to a campaign that has inspired generations. Her words still ring true today. #ToT4UNICEF
