Sudanese refugees in Central African Republic ‘living in fear’
The Sudanese refugees in the Central African Republic’s Bembere camp are living in extremely difficult security and humanitarian situation owing to violent confrontations between Muslims and Christians in the country, and the closure of roads. Abdelrahman Ismail, the head of the Bembere camp, told Radio Dabanga that the Sudanese refugees are “kind of detained” inside the camp. “They are hungry and are living in fear and terror.” He said that the 2,200 Sudanese refugees in the camp have not received food rations for a period of 51 days because of the closure of the roads. The people also suffer from a lack of medicines and the shortage of medical staff. “Five doctors stopped their work because of the insecurity security.” Ismail appealed to the UN and humanitarian organisations to immediately provide the camp residents with food and medicines.
