They are living it on the front lines. They are not reading about war in history books; they are being crushed by it. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Over 14 million Sudanese children now face hunger, displacement, loss, and forced recruitment.

No rice. No vegetables. Just silence, and the gnawing ache of hunger. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Many of these children stand in line without a parent by their side.
