North Darfur’s Zamzam camp short of water, medicines
The residents of the Zamzam camp for the displaced, south of El Fasher, capital of North Darfur, are facing a severe drinking water crisis, and a shortage of medicines.
“The camp population was already more than 150,000. Now, we are sharing the water sources and limited health services with more than 23,000 newly displaced,” a camp elder told Dabanga.
The new displaced sought refuge at the camp during the past few weeks, fleeing widespread attacks by government forces on villages in East Jebel Marra and Tawila localities.
The camp elder added that the sanitary conditions are also rapidly deteriorating, owing to the lack of toilets, and appealed to the North Darfur authorities and humanitarian organisations
