Access to El-Fasher and nearby camps “Dangerously limited”, with up to 450,000 people assessed on the move.
The UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Sudan, Clementine Nkweta-Salami, said Sunday that access to humanitarian aid remains “dangerously limited” in the capital of El-Opharher and the surrounding areas, where RSF launched more attacks in the last few weeks.
These attacks have launched the mass of exodus from ZamAbu Shouk and other refugee camps, a situation, which is “all the current” and “unpredictable” in the middle of fear that the RSF is preparing a wider offensive.
Two years in conflict with Sudan military government, they attacked RSF Zam – He said he shouldered in a million people – and Abu Shouk Camps just over a week ago, killing at least 300 people and forced up to 400,000 inhabitants to run 60 km (37 miles) through the desert to Tawila.
In his statement, Nkweta-Salami said that up to 450,000 displaced persons “increasingly interrupts the supply chain and help them in an enhanced risk of epidemic outbreaks, malnutrition and hunger.”
She called on UN and NGO actors to be approved by “direct and constant access to these areas to ensure that life savings can be provided safely and on a scale.”
‘Absolutely catastrophic’
At the end of last week, doctors without borders (IMF) medical beneficeness were said that the displaced people in Tawila “faced the absolutely catastrophic situation”.
“There is no water source, there are no sanitary facilities and no food,” MSF said Thibault Hendler.
The Marion Ramstein project coordinator said that the NGO saw more than 170 people with shooting and explosion injuries, 40 percent of women and girls.
New arrivals in Tawili told the AFP news agency that paramilitary forces were robbed by paramilitary forces, with several women who reported that they were raped in the road.
Tawila controls the armed group that held the conflict between the RSF and the regular army, which erupted in April 2023. years.
The conflict shared the Sudan in two, with a ride held in the north and east, while the RSF controls most of Darfur and parts of the south.
The war killed tens of thousands of people, amounted to more than 12 million and created what the UN described as the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.
