Fire damages school in Abu Shouk Camp

A fire broke out Friday afternoon in Abu Shouk Camp for displaced persons in El Fasher. The fire burnt five classrooms of Al Salaam School 4 to their foundations. The blaze was the third of its kind in the camp. Witnesses said the school had been built of straw. Camp residents said they lacked means to put out the blaze, but they managed to do it with dirt, otherwise it would have spread to other parts of the camp.
