Activists in the Darfur region have pointed to a continuous influx of displaced persons from the villages of Korma and the Dar Al Salam locality to the town of Tawila, located 60 kilometers west of El Fasher in North Darfur State, amid warnings of a potential humanitarian catastrophe due to the scarcity of aid.
Activists explained that the camps spread throughout this town are witnessing daily arrivals of newly displaced people from Korma, Khazan Jadeed, and other villages in the Dar Al Salam locality, despite the slow response from organizations working in the humanitarian field.
They noted that they received briefings from some humanitarian organizations stating that they suffer from a lack of resources, in addition to restrictions imposed by local authorities on their activities, which hinders the delivery of aid to the displaced.
The Tawila area, which is under the control of the Sudan Liberation Movement led by Abdul Wahid Nur, is considered the largest recipient of displaced persons in Sudan. It currently shelters approximately 665,000 displaced people, most of whom fled from El Fasher.
The camps in Tawila face an acute shortage of basic services including water, food, and shelter, amidst the overcrowding of displaced persons and increasing needs.
