Displaced people in “Sabrin” camp, located in Asalaya locality, East Darfur State, are facing severe humanitarian conditions. Residents are suffering from a shortage of clean water, a lack of food, and insufficient basic services, with warnings that the crisis could turn into a catastrophe as the rainy season approaches.
Acute Shortages of Water and Food Amid Rising Malnutrition
According to a statement from the Asalaya Local Emergency Room, reviewed by “Darfur24,” the displaced are experiencing an acute shortage of drinking water and food, with cases of malnutrition—especially among children and women—on the rise.
Khadija Hassan, a displaced woman from Omdurman, told “Darfur24” that obtaining clean drinking water has become a daily challenge, noting that the food aid provided by humanitarian organizations in recent periods is insufficient compared to the number of displaced people.
She added, “Because of the lack of food, signs of malnutrition have become clearly visible among children and women,” highlighting the urgent need for effective humanitarian interventions.
Rising Number of Displaced Amid Limited Resources
According to the camp’s emergency room, most displaced families have come from North Darfur, Nyala, Omdurman, Khartoum, and Um Marai. Asalaya locality is currently hosting about 3,800 displaced people, distributed between Sabrin camp and shelter centers in government institutions or with resident families.
Urgent Appeals to Save the Displaced Before the Rainy Season
The emergency room has called on humanitarian organizations and charitable bodies to intervene immediately, warning that failure to provide urgent support could dangerously worsen the situation as the rainy season approaches, making access to basic services even more difficult.
