Escalating Fighting Drives Thousands from Homes in Sudan’s Blue Nile
(MENAFN) Nearly 20,000 people have been forced to flee their homes in Sudan’s Blue Nile state as worsening security conditions and intensifying fighting create growing risks for civilians, according to a local relief group.
The Geissan Emergency Room says a fresh wave of displacement is underway in the City 12 area of Geissan locality, affecting both local residents and displaced people who had been living in shelters.
Initial estimates suggest that “the number of displaced people is approaching 20,000, including families, children, women and elderly people," the group said.
Those forced to leave have moved to several locations, including Shira, Abu Qami and Al-Hilla Al-Qadima. Some have also traveled east toward Wad Al-Mahi locality, while others have sought refuge in shelters in Damazin.
The relief group warns that displaced families are facing “dire humanitarian conditions” as shortages of shelter supplies and essential goods continue to worsen.
It calls on humanitarian organizations, aid agencies and both local and international authorities to take immediate action to provide assistance and address the expanding humanitarian and health needs caused by the displacement.
The latest displacement comes after two days of intensified clashes in Blue Nile state. Fighting has escalated following attacks by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and its ally, the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N), against several locations across the state.
