The United Nations: Hundreds of people in the camps for the displaced in western Sudan – the seventh day

The United Nations agencies and their partners appealed to the urgent increase in financing to avoid more losses in lives and human consequences due to the war in Sudan.

The United Nations official website stated that hundreds of civilians were killed, including at least 12 humanitarian workers, in an artillery shell that recently targeted Al -Fasher camps and Zamzam in the Darfur region in western Sudan, which led to an unprecedented wave of displacement, according to the United Nations.

He pointed out that the violent clashes between the Sudanese militias and the armed forces have escalated greatly throughout North Darfur in recent weeks, in conjunction with the passage of two years on the war in Sudan.

Al -Fasher’s caravans and Zamzam were affected by the internally displaced, who were forced to flee their homes due to the conflict, inappropriately.

“Eve”, a mother of three children, was inside a hospital in Zamzam camp during the bombing, speaking to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF): Patients and their mothers were killed. As for us who survived, we only went out with our children on our backs. “

The attacks led to the destruction of vital infrastructure, the truck transport services stopped, and the collapse of fragile health services already, according to the United Nations.

Zamzam camp was emptied for the internally displaced people, which was housing at least 400,000 people before the last bombing, almost completely. The United Nations reported that more than 332,000 people fled the camp.

Humanitarian organizations warn of increasing reports on sexual violence, targeting civilians, and forced recruitment – especially by the militia “Quick Support” militia.
The sudden and hidden flow of internally displaced persons and hosts already burdened increases pressure on health services, water infrastructure and local food systems.

While internally displaced camps face an increasing demand for emergency shelters, clean water, food and protection services, fuel shortage led to a semi -full suspension of truck transport operations in many areas, including El Fasher.

In the center of Darfur, health partners reported high levels of malnutrition, especially among children.

Although the United Nations is currently providing life -saving food aid in North Darfur, an immediate increase in humanitarian aid is needed to prevent tens of thousands of new displaced people from slipping more in the clutches of sharp fragility.
