The camp residents (IDPs) of Abu Shouk Camp in El Fasher, North Darfur, disagreed with the decision by international organizations to reduce the quota received by the refugees as a result of revised lists of the displaced persons. Refugees said the assessment had excluded students, which led to reduced food rations for families. A female refugee in Abu Shouk camp said in an interview that they are also suffering from a shortage of medicine.
