On Tuesday,\u00a0UN Resident Coordinator in Sudan, Clementine Nkweta-Salami, expressed her grave concern over humanitarian aid organizations reports that Zamzam camp came under fire and intense shelling during the evening of\u00a01 December and again on 2 December.<\/p>\n

\u201cCivilians and civilian infrastructure are protected under international humanitarian law and should never be a target,\u201d she underscored.<\/p>\n

According to humanitarian organizations, the shelling killed at least five people and injured 18, prompting the evacuation of a hospital and the suspension of healthcare operations in the camp, which is located near El Fasher, capital of North Darfur state.<\/p>\n

Conditions at breaking point<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Already grappling with a months-long siege, Zamzam camp, home to over half a million displaced people, has faced severe shortages of critical humanitarian supplies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Food security experts confirmed famine conditions in August 2024, making Zamzam the only location globally where famine has been declared this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is now 232 days since the siege of El Fasher began, which has resulted in unacceptable levels of human suffering,\u201d said Ms. Nkweta-Salami.<\/p>\n

The violence has further devastated civilian infrastructure, including health clinics and shelters, exacerbating an already dire situation.<\/p>\n

Urgent call for action<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The UN and humanitarian partners have strongly condemned these attacks on civilians and called for an immediate halt to violence.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Civilian] protection is paramount,\u201d said Ms. Nkweta-Salami.<\/p>\n

The UN World Food Programme (WFP) has also urged all armed groups to consistently grant safe passage for food aid to reach the camp.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the food. We have the trucks. We have the staff on board to ensure this aid gets there. Now, we need all warring parties and armed groups to allow this vital food and nutrition to arrive safely,\u201d stressed Alex Marianelli, WFP\u2019s Operations Deputy Country Director in Sudan.<\/p>\n

With over 11 million people displaced across Sudan, including 5.8 million women and children, the escalating violence has deepened the world’s largest displacement crisis.<\/p>\n

The UN has renewed its calls for international attention and immediate action to address the ongoing suffering of Sudan\u2019s displaced communities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
