NRC Warns against Relief Stock Running out
Sudan Events – Follow-ups
The communications coordinator for the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), a Norwegian humanitarian NGO, described the situation in Sudan as complex.
Ahmed Omer, the organization’s coordinator in Sudan, said, “People arrive in Sinnar exhausted, hungry, and sick because they were unable to obtain transportation due to the lack of fuel, the price of which reached 50,000 pounds – the equivalent of 50 dollars per gallon. I do not know where these people will go after they fled from Medani.” “It seems that the war will not stop, and everyone is looking for a safe place.”
The organization added that the Sudan war is taking a new and bleak turn, and shelters are turning into conflict zones, where hundreds of thousands are exposed to danger. This is indeed one of the largest displacement crises in the world, and the organization expects hundreds of thousands to flee in the coming days.
For his part, the organization’s country director, William Carter, said on Wednesday that panic and despair are spreading faster than the mass migration from Wad Medani. He added, “It is difficult and worrying, but our teams are striving to survive and achieve. We have begun distributing some humanitarian relief materials in Gedaref today and Singa tomorrow, but our stock is running out and we only have a little left.
