Sudan war: The children forced to grow up in the frontline city of El Obeid

In the second film from the Sudanese city of El Obeid, Sky News’ Africa correspondent, Yousra Elbagir, investigates the impact the war is having on children and young people.

Drone attacks on schools have led to the death of students, while some children face life as amputees following injuries from shrapnel. Sexual violence is also affecting children as young as six, aid workers report.

The Sudanese Armed Forces - supported by Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iran and Qatar are locked in a brutal and costly conflict with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, who are backed by the UAE - claims the UAE denies.
