“In El Fasher, people are afraid to go out. For days, families with children sit at home and are frozen with fear. There are interruptions in the supply of electricity, water, food. They are just waiting to die. And the international media and the entire world community are silent, as if nothing is happening. The UN passes resolutions, but they are not implemented. This is a shameful stain on the history of mankind,” Mahdi told Sputnik.
“Real famine began in the regions. In the regions of Serba and Morni, people eat tree leaves. The humanitarian aid received was not enough for several weeks. We really ask international organizations to help people in Darfur. Of course, the situation is the worst in El Fasher, there is hunger, thirst, disease, shelling and the risk of large-scale fighting,” Ayoub Khader, secretary for the Darfur region of the community of Sudanese civil organizations, told Sputnik.
“We've appealed to all parties to the conflict to stop attacks on civilians. The UN and countries in the region are calling on all parties to return to the negotiating table, but there is no sign or response to that call yet. Sometimes it is possible to open humanitarian corridors for the delivery of aid, but they still do not work as efficiently as needed. Help is not reaching all areas,” Baki pointed out.
