The Al-Jazira Human Rights Observatory has estimated that more than 3,000 families have been displaced from Damazin, the capital of the Blue Nile Region, and surrounding areas due to escalating military operations and deteriorating security conditions.
The Observatory indicated that most of the displaced families had headed towards neighbouring Sennar State.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the Observatory said it was monitoring developments in the humanitarian situation across the region amid intensified fighting and drone attacks targeting villages and towns, which have resulted in deaths, injuries and new waves of displacement.
It added that the movement of most displaced families to Sennar was placing additional pressure on essential services in host communities, which are themselves experiencing deteriorating humanitarian conditions as a result of the war.
The Observatory called on international and humanitarian organisations to intervene urgently to provide shelter, drinking water, healthcare and sanitation services, in addition to other basic necessities for displaced families.
