Sudan’s Illness Warned Beyond Human Rights Activists Think: Islamic Relief
In Darfur: Civil war forces Sudanese people to flee. Fighting in the southeastern Sudan state of Sinja is forcing women to flee with their children, Middle East Eye said. With daytime temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius and armed groups on the roads, they must flee at night.
The 18-month-old war has forced nearly 3 million Sudanese to flee the country. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) reports that around 11 million people are displaced. There are no official or reliable statistics available on the number of people killed in the conflict that has spread to Darfur and other states. Islamic Relief in Sudan says the death toll has already reached 2,00,000.
There were around 110 children in the camp in Port Sudan, all of whom had fled their homes after the war, said the Head of Islamic Relief Waseem Ahmed.
A little boy, about six or seven years old, came to me and asked if I had any sweets. You can tell by looking at that child that he is malnourished. I gave him sweets. He wanted one for his sister. He came with his sister and mother. They didn’t know where their father was. She was fleeing with her children when the war broke out in their village too,’ said Waseem.
On April 15, 2023, war broke out in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan. Eventually the power struggle between the two main factions in the military system turned into a deadly war.
According to the latest estimates, about 26 million people face severe food insecurity. Famine has been announced in the Zamzam displacement camp in Darfur.
About 11.3 million people were forced to flee the fighting, including about 2.95 million who fled across the country’s borders.
