Activists have issued an urgent humanitarian appeal to save hundreds of displaced families scattered across various parts of North Darfur State following attacks carried out by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
In a statement, the North Darfur Emergency Response Room Council said it was sounding the alarm and calling for urgent humanitarian intervention to establish safe corridors for the evacuation of civilians from areas at risk in Um Baro locality, ensure their protection, and provide shelter, food, and healthcare.
The council explained that families who fled conflict-affected areas are now sleeping in the open and seeking shelter under trees, without housing or blankets to protect them from the winter cold.
It warned that women, children, and older people face increasing risks as temperatures drop and living conditions continue to deteriorate.
The council further noted that the crisis in the area is worsening due to severe water shortages, the lack of shelter, and the absence of even the most basic humanitarian assistance. Meanwhile, displaced families are struggling to secure their daily necessities, particularly drinking water and food.
