Survivors in Sudan Resort to Charcoal and Leaves Amidst Conflict
Sudan's humanitarian crisis deepens as displaced individuals resort to desperate measures for survival following camp attacks.
In the wake of a brutal attack on the Zamzam camp near el-Fasher, survivors are turning to extreme measures, consuming charcoal and leaves to stave off hunger. The Norwegian Refugee Council has reported harrowing tales of hardship and peril for those forced to abandon their homes.
As families flee toward Tawila after the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) assault on their camp, many are dying from thirst and injuries on the perilous journey. Noah Taylor, the Council's head of operations, shared chilling reports of a young girl who, after suffering horrific violence, succumbed to her wounds upon arrival.
El-Fasher remains the last stronghold of the Sudanese army in Darfur, a region engulfed in conflict for years, leading to the displacement of approximately 13 million people. Current reports mark this situation as the world's worst humanitarian catastrophe.
With Tawila overwhelmed by the influx of displaced persons, where support resources are scant, Taylor noted the absence of food and clean water, with local infrastructures strained beyond capacity. The RSF has admitted to attacking the Zamzam camp while denying allegations of atrocities committed during the raid.
As conditions worsen, the plight of displaced Sudanese continues to draw attention, illuminating the urgent need for humanitarian intervention and support to address this escalating crisis.
