Large numbers of displaced Sudanese, including women, children, and the elderly, have arrived in the city of Al-Damazin from Kurmuk in the Blue Nile region of southern Sudan, amid harsh humanitarian conditions.
The Blue Nile region is witnessing a rapid escalation on the ground, with expanding clashes between the Sudanese army, the Rapid Support Forces, and the allied Sudan People’s Liberation Movement–North, amid warnings of worsening humanitarian conditions as the number of displaced people continues to rise.
Displaced women told Al Jazeera about the difficult conditions of displacement, especially for children who lack access to food and drinking water.
One of them said that among the displaced are women in their ninth month of pregnancy, as well as others in the early months of pregnancy, which has negatively affected their health.
The displacement of Sudanese civilians continues as fighting persists in the Blue Nile region. The region’s governor, Ahmed Al-Omda Badi, announced the arrival of military reinforcements for the Sudanese army in preparation for regaining control of the strategic city of Kurmuk, located on the border with Ethiopia.
