Al-Affad Camp, Sudan – As violence escalates in North Darfur and Kordofan, displaced families are increasingly seeking refuge in Al-Affad camp, located in Sudan’s Northern State. Overwhelmed by the growing influx of people and the strain on existing resources, the camp’s inhabitants are heavily reliant on tekaya – charitable kitchens – and other humanitarian initiatives to secure their daily sustenance.
The continuous arrival of families fleeing conflict zones has placed immense pressure on the camp’s infrastructure and the availability of essential services. With limited access to food and other necessities, displaced individuals are turning to these communal kitchens for survival. These tekaya, often supported by local communities and aid organizations, provide crucial meals and support to those most in need.
The situation in Al-Affad highlights the urgent need for increased humanitarian assistance and a lasting solution to the ongoing conflict driving displacement. The reliance on charitable efforts underscores the vulnerability of the displaced population and the challenges faced in providing adequate support in a rapidly evolving crisis.
DZWatch continues to monitor the situation in Sudan and will provide updates as they become available. The focus remains on the plight of the displaced and the efforts to alleviate their suffering amidst the ongoing instability.
