There has been dispute in South Darfur’s largest displaced camp, Kalma, between the sheikhs of the camp and the humanitarian organizations that provide food. A sheikh of the displaced people said that the NGOs reduced the rations from 9 kilograms to 6 kilograms per family, beginning next month. The sheikh said the organizations threaten to stop the distribution altogether. He added that 6 kilograms is not enough and added that the humanitarian organizations did not give any reasons for the reduction. In addition, a large number of displaced people do not have ration cards, he said in an interview with Radio Dabanga.
