Humanitarian aid in North Darfur is nearly depleted with warehouses empty and convoys insecure, leaving millions at risk as 12 million are displaced, the International Organization for Migration said.
- On Tuesday, the International Organization for Migration warned relief work in the North Darfur region could halt without immediate funding, as warehouses run nearly empty and aid convoys face insecurity.
- According to WHO figures, the war began in 2023 after tensions between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces, who had been allies during a 2019 transition, with at least 40,000 killed and nearly 39,000 displaced, IOM warned of `an even greater catastrophe` without urgent aid.
- Tens of thousands have arrived at overcrowded camps in Tawila, about 70 kilometers from el-Fasher, where tents, food and medical supplies are scarce, and volunteers like Batoul Mohamed say, `The displaced are too many; they are also hungry.`
- Nearly 39,000 people fled North Kordofan from Oct. 26 to Nov. 9, and displaced people undertaking perilous journeys face no access to food, water or medical assistance, worsening their needs.
- The IOM said more funding is needed and warned of `an even greater catastrophe` if aid efforts in North Darfur are not urgently supported.
