Famine forces families to consume animal forage in Sudan
(MENAFN) On Thursday, UN humanitarians disclosed that families are famished in a camp located in the west of Sudan which is experiencing extreme food deprivation. They added that the families even had to consume animal forage to survive.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) expressed deep concern over the worsening situation in Zamzam camp, located outside El Fasher, capital city of North Darfur, Sudan.
OCHA added: "The camp, where famine was confirmed last year, is estimated to be hosting some 500,000 displaced people." It further noted: "Partners at Save the Children warned yesterday (Wednesday) that severe food shortages have forced families to consume animal feed to survive."
Stocks of critical medicines and healing foods in Zamzam Camp have been depleted, contributing to an alarming increase in famine rates. The mobile clinics, which once served as a lifeline, now face shortages of medical inventory, further exacerbating the crisis.
According to OCHA, for the past seven months, the people of Zamzam have been suffering from malnutrition, as the collapse of basic services has made survival even more challenging with ongoing bombing and intensifying assault, families are facing increased dangers, and humanitarian aid has become almost unattainable.
