The United Nations said that “more than 650,000 displaced people in Tawila, North Darfur, have suffered severe violence and are living under trauma, shortages of shelter and basic services, and are in urgent need of security and peace.”
In a related development, the Darfur Displaced Persons and Refugees Coordination revealed a worsening humanitarian situation in displacement centers across the region following fires that broke out recently in several camps.
The fires reportedly destroyed more than 881 shelters, leaving large numbers of families displaced once again and causing the loss of their belongings.
Adam Rijal, spokesperson for the coordination body, said that “the displaced are living in a state of instability inside the shelters due to the continuation of the war and growing fears, in addition to recurring fires caused by severe overcrowding, particularly in the Tawila area of North Darfur State.”
He added, “These fires are not merely isolated incidents, but a recurring humanitarian tragedy that adds a new layer of suffering to the harsh reality of di
splacement.”
