Catherine Russell says it now has the largest displacement of children anywhere, with millions facing malnutrition and most not in school
She is travelling to the country torn apart by more than a year of brutal civil war as warnings of famine grow louder.
The pillars of Sudan's food economy have collapsed, and both warring parties - the Sudanese army and a paramilitary group called the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) - are restricting the delivery of desperately needed aid.
Children were at the sharp end of this hunger crisis, Ms Russell told the BBC while en route in Nairobi: nine million don’t get enough to eat regularly, and nearly four million face acute malnutrition.
