In the aftermath of an attack on the Zamzam camp near el-Fasher, the Norwegian Refugee Council has reported harrowing stories of survival among Sudanese refugees forced to flee their homes. Many are resorting to eating leaves and charcoal to stave off hunger, as they undertake perilous journeys under blistering temperatures in search of safety. Reports indicate that once individuals reach their destination, like Tawila, they often arrive in dire conditions, some even succumbing to thirst and injuries sustained while escaping.

Sudanese Facing Starvation After Charcoal and Leaf Diet Post-Attack, Aid Groups Report
The situation in Sudan exacerbates as displaced families resort to extreme measures for survival in the wake of violence.
The conflict in Sudan’s Darfur region shows no signs of abating, with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) allegedly attacking non-Arabic residents and compounding what is declared by aid organizations as the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. Human rights chief Volker Türk expressed deep concern over systematic destruction, lack of aid, and rampant violence against women amidst ongoing fighting. As humanitarian efforts face funding shortages, tens of thousands continue to be displaced, raising fears of further loss of life and escalating desperation among the populace.
The UN has recorded significant casualties since violence surged, and calls for help from humanitarian agencies fall on deaf ears as food shortages threaten survival. With the RSF denying allegations of atrocities, the humanitarian community is urgently appealing for security guarantees to provide vital aid to those affected.
The destruction is extensive: homes are burned, resources are dwindling, and communities are collapsing under the strain of ongoing conflicts. The plea for international assistance has never been more urgent as the situation worsens by the day.
Sudan's conflict devastates lives: despite calls for help, basic necessities fail to reach those in dire need.
