UN News Today 06 May 2025 - Gaza, Sudan, hospital bombing in South Sudan

Tens of thousands of people went missing under the Assad dictatorship in Syria during more than five decades of systematic repression and forced disappearances. 

In response, the UN General Assembly established the Independent Institution on Missing Persons in the Syrian Arab Republic (IIMP) in 2023 to help account for them all.

The investigative body aims to provide long-awaited truth and closure for Syrian families. 

Speaking to UN News’s Abdelmonem Makki following their recent assessment mission to Syria, IIMP head Karla Quintana said that “everyone knows someone who is missing”.

The digital revolution has created unprecedented opportunities for children and young people across the globe to communicate, learn, and socialise. 

However, browsing the internet as artificial intelligence gathers pace, also presents dangers – from sexual abuse to cyberbullying – highlighting the need for smarter and more effective regulation to keep youngsters safe. 

As the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) holds its annual forum on Science, Technology and Innovation, UN News’s Emma Trager-Lewis spoke to Baroness Kidron, Founder of 5Rights, a UK-based organization dedicated to children’s rights in the digital world.

Emma began by asking the former film director and producer, who addressed Tuesday’s session on harnessing AI for sustainable development, why she first got involved in campaigning for digital rights.

One in two people in Sudan is facing acute hunger and 13 million people have been displaced from their homes because of two years of war.

Although the UN aid operations are continuing, drone attacks on the humanitarian hub Port Sudan have threatened aid deliveries.

“It’s critical that the deliveries of vital aid continue safely and regularly, as we’re responding to unprecedented needs,” said Leni Kinzli, Head of Communications for the UN World Food Programme (WFP) in Sudan.

The UN agency has just distributed emergency food packages to 335,000 displaced people who have arrived in Tawila, after fleeing “horrific levels of violence” in Darfur’s El Fasher town.

“We are also ramping up assistance in Khartoum, aiming to support one million people in the coming month,” Ms. Kinzli told UN News, emphasizing that WFP requires $700 million over the next six months to expand assistance to seven million people every month.
