Coordinator for North Darfur refugee camps says food rations have reduced

The World Food Program (WFP) is violating international law with regard to food rations to be allocated to refugees, the coordinator of the camps in North Darfur accused on Thursday.Ahmed Atim, the camp coordinator told Radio Dabanga that the WFP had reduced rations for the displaced in contradiction to international standards.

He added that these rations had reduced gradually over time. “The WFP is always pointing out that they are serving to a lot of camps in the state. But we don’t receive rations for several months put together,” he complained.

He said the camps of North Darfur suffer from poor nutrition, health services and treatment. “I would like to appeal to the international community to do its part for citizens of Darfur,” he told Radio Dabanga.

Earlier this year, Radio Dabanga had also reported on WFP’s failure to deliver rations in El Geneina in West Darfur.
