TAWILA – Another 138 displaced families have arrived in Tawila, North Darfur, bringing the number of newly arrived families to 354, or about 2,127 people, most of them women and children, according to the General Coordination for Displaced Persons and Refugees.
Adam Rojal, spokesperson for the coordination, said in a humanitarian report issued on Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2026, that the latest arrivals fled areas east of El Fasher and parts of Kordofan.
He said the displaced families are facing severe humanitarian conditions, including shortages of food, clean water, medicines and adequate shelter.
Rojal attributed the continued displacement to the war in Darfur and Kordofan, as well as drought, poor rainfall and the deterioration of agricultural resources.
He also pointed to rising malnutrition and high prices for basic goods as factors worsening conditions for displaced families.
The coordination said the new arrivals urgently need food assistance, medicines and support for health centers, as well as safe water points and temporary shelter.
It also called for psychosocial support programs, particularly for children and women affected by war and displacement.
The group urged international organizations, United Nations agencies and other humanitarian actors to intervene urgently to provide basic needs and protect displaced people from hunger, disease and further abuses.
Tawila has become one of the main destinations for people fleeing fighting and insecurity in North Darfur, with successive waves of displacement placing growing pressure on already limited humanitarian services.
