The displaced of the four camps at Nierteti, South Darfur, are complaining of drinking water crisis owing to a fuel shortage and high prices.<\/p>\n

Listeners from South, North, Garsila and Khor Ramla camps say that the high price of fuel means that the water stations do not operate. An activist told Radio Dabanga that the displaced must join the queue early in the morning to receive a tin of water.<\/p>\n

\u201cOften, they queue all day in vain, as there is no water to be had. They must currently travel long distances to fetch water,\u201d he said, appealing to the responsible authorities to find an urgent solution to the water problem.<\/p>\n
