The Tawila Emergency Response Room has continued its drinking water distribution project for displaced people at Dabba Nayra Camp in North Darfur State for the 27th consecutive day. The project is supported by the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) and implemented in coordination with the Tawila–Jebel Marra Emergency Rooms Coordination Council, as part of efforts to provide safe drinking water and ease the suffering of thousands of displaced families.
Speaking to Mashaweer, Abdullah Hassan, a member of the Tawila Emergency Response Room, said the project has helped provide water regularly to beneficiaries. However, he stressed that humanitarian needs continue to exceed the available resources due to the growing number of displaced people and rising temperatures, making the current water quantities and distribution frequency insufficient to meet daily needs.
He added that the Emergency Response Room and the Coordination Council are appealing to humanitarian partners to increase the number of daily water distributions, extend the project’s duration, and provide water treatment and purification supplies, including chlorine and other essential materials, to ensure access to safe drinking water and reduce the spread of waterborne diseases.
Meanwhile, displaced resident Al-Khair Mahmoud told Mashaweer that the water distribution project has eased some of the hardships faced by families in the camp, but emphasized that the needs remain immense. He noted that many displaced people are still forced to wait for hours to obtain water.
He called on humanitarian organizations to increase their support to ensure that all displaced families receive adequate and regular access to safe water, particularly as displacement continues and temperatures keep rising.
