UNHCR / SUDAN DISPLACED POPULATION

Escalating, brutal violence in El Fasher, the capital of Sudan’s North Darfur region, has forced thousands of civilians to flee, leaving many others trapped inside the city with few options. Families and especially children seeking safety in the town of Tawila, 50 kilometers from El Fasher, families arrive malnourished, sick and traumatized from the perilous journey to safety. UNHCR

Storyline

Civilians escaped the fighting in terror, navigating armed checkpoints, extortion, arbitrary arrests, detention, looting and harassment, and serious human rights violations as they tried to reach safety.

Among the grave protection violations being reported is widespread sexual violence against women and girls by armed groups during attacks and in flight, along with reports of harrowing executions in El Fasher.
In Tawila, UNHCR is providing life-saving assistance and essential services to displaced families, including shelter, basic necessities and cash assistance, and offering counselling at multi-purpose community centres. UNHCR is also undertaking individual protection assessments for some of the most vulnerable new arrivals.
UNHCR is acutely concerned about the plight of other vulnerable groups, including those with disabilities. UNHCR strongly urges all parties to refrain from violence and especially attacks on civilians along displacement routes. Civilians should never be targeted, and their safe passage must be guaranteed.
UNHCR calls for safe, unhindered, and immediate access for humanitarian actors to reach people in urgent need. Compliance with international humanitarian law is an obligation, not an option.
