The Sudanese government confirmed yesterday, Sunday, that allegations of a famine in the Zamzam camp for displaced persons in North Darfur state are false.
This confirmation came in light of reports issued by the World Hunger Observatory last Thursday, which indicated that the famine in the camp may continue until October.
For its part, Doctors Without Borders warned of the risk of running out of therapeutic food supplies for children suffering from severe malnutrition in the camp within two weeks, indicating that the situation requires urgent intervention to prevent a humanitarian disaster.
The organization also reported that its trucks loaded with medical supplies have been prevented from reaching the camp and the city of El Fasher for more than a month, due to measures imposed by the Rapid Support Forces, which had previously pledged to work with the United Nations to facilitate the delivery of aid.
Zamzam camp is located about 15 kilometers south of El Fasher city and is one of the largest displacement camps in Sudan, providing refuge for tens of thousands of people displaced by armed conflicts in the region. The camp was established in 2004 in response to the influx of people displaced by the war in Darfur.
