Zamzam Camp in North Darfur: A Cry for Help
The Zamzam Camp for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Sudan is currently facing a dire humanitarian crisis due to the ongoing conflict in the region. Located 15 km south of the state capital, the camp was established in 2004 to accommodate those fleeing the war in Darfur.
With a massive influx of people seeking refuge from the conflict, the camp is overwhelmed and in desperate need of assistance. The director of a sheltering center within the camp described the situation as tragic, with families lacking basic necessities like shelter, food, and water tanks.
Displaced individuals like Mariam Ibrahim Imam have shared their stories of moving from place to place in search of safety, facing dire conditions amidst the ongoing conflict. Calls for urgent intervention from international, regional, and national organizations have been made to address the severe humanitarian conditions in Zamzam and other nearby areas.
As the rainy season approaches, the situation is expected to worsen, with many facing immense suffering and struggling to survive. It is crucial for the international community to step in and provide the necessary support to alleviate the crisis in Zamzam Camp and surrounding areas.
