A group of omdas and elders from Daein are currently providing food and shelter for us,” he said.He added that they will have to evacuate the school on Saturday making it dangerous for them with the forthcoming winter. The affected families made an appeal to local and international humanitarian organizations to provide food, medicine and shelter to them.During the raid of their homes in Al Tuesha locality, local militias allegedly killed 10 members of Zaghawa tribe and left 30 injured.
