"We left without anything we just took some clothes, said an elderly woman who appeared exhausted and frail. Inside the camp, the people arriving are faced with extremely harsh humanitarian conditions. Tents are being pitched in haste, but as the number of displaced people grows, so do the immense humanitarian needs. Yet, humanitarian support remains insufficient to cover even the bare minimum."
"Nearly three years of war between the RSF and SAF have forced 14 million people to flee their homes in a desperate attempt to find shelter and safety away from the heavy fighting that has killed tens of thousands. Some 21 million across the country are facing acute hunger, in what the United Nations calls the world's largest humanitarian crisis."
"The flow of displaced people fleeing the fighting in Sudan shows no sign of slowing the latest hailing from Heglig. In early December, the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) seized the strategic Heglig oilfield in West Kordofan province after its rival, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), withdrew from the area. Nearly 1,700 displaced people, most of them children and women, escaped the fighting in the southern region and the lack of basic necessities."
Paramilitary Rapid Support Forces seized the strategic Heglig oilfield after Sudanese Armed Forces withdrew, triggering new displacement. Nearly 1,700 people, mostly women and children, fled to Gos Alsalam camp in Kosti with almost no possessions. Arrivals include elderly and frail people who report having only a few clothes. Tents are being set up rapidly but fail to meet growing needs; blankets, sheets and basic medical care are lacking. A newborn was delivered outdoors without assistance. Nearly three years of fighting have displaced 14 million and left 21 million facing acute hunger, constituting an unprecedented humanitarian crisis.
