Medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has raised alarms over a dire humanitarian situation in the Zamzam refugee camp, located in North Darfur, Sudan.
MSF reports reaching emergency thresholds for malnutrition and urges an immediate increase in international aid.
At the Zamzam camp, near Fasher, MSF notes a distressing situation with at least one child succumbing every two hours.
The ongoing war between Sudan’s regular army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Force has displaced approximately eight million people since April of the previous year.
The World Food Programme estimates that nearly five million people across Sudan now face emergency levels of hunger, marking a twofold increase since the conflict’s onset.
Despite the escalating crisis, the humanitarian body expresses constraints, stating that it has only managed to provide vital aid to 10% of those in need in conflict-afflicted areas.
