While the conflict between raging rival soldiers, millions of people continue to be moved.
While the UN and its partners continue to provide assistance to newly displaced families in northern Darfur, “almost 60% of the displaced families still have no support for the appropriate shelter,” said the deputy spokesman of the secretary general, Farhan Haq on Monday during a daily press briefing.
In the Abu Shouk camp in El Fasher, the capital of Darfur du Nord, the displaced families face acute shortages of food and medicine, local sources reporting four deaths linked to hunger last week, while food insecurity continues to worsen throughout the country.
In the state of North Darfur, in particular, a low supply of cereals, bad harvests and prolonged food deficit seriously affected food availability.
Health crisis
Meanwhile, cholera cases continue to increase at Tawila. More than 1,500 serious and confirmed serious infections have been reported since June, more than 500 people currently receiving treatment.
While local authorities have introduced emergency measures, including market closings and the ban on public gatherings, humanitarian organizations urgently require $ 120 million to increase Tawila vital support over the next three months.
“This funding is essential to contain the epidemic and support critical services,” said Ochha.
Meanwhile, at the Sudan port, the main entry point for humanitarian staff and supplies, a strong increase in heat strokes linked to an extreme temperature and prolonged power outages raises concerns, because a death has been recorded in the last two days.
Food crisis
In El Fasher, food prices continue to increase at alarming levels. The integrated classification of the food security phase (IPC) has already identified famine conditions in several areas of the North Darfur and the mountains of Nuba Eastern, with more risky locations.
In May, the average cost of the local food basket in El Fasher was more than six times the national average, because the city recorded the highest prices for almost all essential items among the evaluated localities.
An IPC alert earlier this month noted that the Sudan food security and nutrition situation should deteriorate more during the Alanque season from July to October, especially in active conflict areas with limited access and a high travel test.
