SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Sudan Tribune – Mass displacement from South Khartoum amidst insecurity and deteriorating conditions
Sudan Tribune report that a substantial number of residents from southern Khartoum have been displaced due to escalating insecurity and a decline in health and living conditions.
The South Belt area has been under the control of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) since the war’s onset.
Mohamed Kandasha, spokesperson for the South Belt Emergency Room, said the area experienced a wave of displacement. but some residents returned after the RSF seized control of Al-Jazirah State.
However, the deteriorating security and health situation and soaring food prices over the past three months have forced them to flee again. According to Kandasha, the ongoing communication blackout in vast areas of Khartoum has further exacerbated the residents’ plight amid severe difficulties in obtaining drinking water due to power outages, hospitals’ inability to treat chronic disease patients, and the restriction of their services to emergency surgeries and childbirth.
