The International Medical Corps has warned of an imminent humanitarian catastrophe with the influx of Sudanese refugees fleeing to Libya, stressing the urgent need to provide aid urgently.
These warnings come after the results of the rapid response team in the city of Kufra showed that the total number of Sudanese refugees there is estimated at 45 thousand refugees.
Kufra includes five sites known as “The Farm,” hosting about 15,000 refugees, with a daily influx of between 250 and 300 new arrivals, according to the agency’s distress team.
After a survey of one of the sites, the Commission determined that the number of Sudanese refugees is about 800 families, with an average of five individuals per family, including about 400 children and 10% over the age of fifty.
The authority explained that refugees suffer from a severe food shortage, as they depend on buying food from members of the local community, in addition to the absence of sanitation facilities and clean drinking water, and many cases of diarrhea have been recorded, especially among children and infants, as a result of contaminated water.
The Emergency Committee of the Libyan Ministry of Health indicated a significant increase in infections with infectious diseases among refugees, with more than 780 cases of hepatitis, 112 cases of HIV infection, and 28 cases of tuberculosis recorded.
The authority expected the number of refugees fleeing from Sudan to Libya to increase significantly due to the ongoing conflict and identified four main routes used by Sudanese refugees to reach Libya: the direct route from Sudan to Kufra, via Chad to Marzouk, via Chad to Qatrun, and the less-used route via Egypt. To Tobruk.
Earlier, Sudanese media revealed satellite images showing that setting fires was used as a weapon of war in Sudan, which led to the destruction of hundreds of villages.
A satellite unit indicated that more than 50 Sudanese villages were repeatedly burned, which indicates the intention of forced displacement and the commission of war crimes.
It is noteworthy that Sudan has been waging a devastating war since April 15, 2023, between the army led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the Rapid Support Forces led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedti), which led to the internal displacement of more than 6 million people and pushed more than two million other people to cross to neighboring countries.
