TAWILA – Displaced people in Tawila, North Darfur, are facing worsening humanitarian conditions amid shortages of food, clean water, shelter, health care and sanitation, according to the General Coordination for Displaced Persons and Refugees.
Adam Rijal, spokesman for the group, said many displaced families were living in difficult conditions and struggling to secure basic necessities.
He said food shortages were increasing the risk of malnutrition, particularly among children and women, while many families remained dependent on humanitarian assistance.
Rijal also warned that access to safe drinking water had become a daily challenge for displaced people, with reliance on unsafe sources increasing the risk of disease outbreaks.
The shelter situation was also deteriorating, he said, with some displaced people sleeping in the open because they lacked adequate housing or materials to protect them from harsh weather conditions.
Access to health care remained limited, with patients struggling to obtain medicines and medical services, while overcrowding and poor sanitation were adding to the risk of disease.
Rijal said displaced children and women were also in need of psychosocial support after experiencing violence, loss, displacement and prolonged insecurity.
He called on the international community and humanitarian organizations to urgently provide food, clean water, shelter, medical care, sanitation services and psychosocial assistance to displaced people in Tawila.
The statement did not provide specific figures for the number of people currently in need or the scale of the aid shortfall.
Sudan Now could not independently verify the conditions described by the spokesman.
