Doctors stopped working in three health centres at Otash camp, near Nyala in South Darfur since last Wednesday<\/span><\/span><\/span>. Government forces stormed the site days earlier for an inspection and prevented doctors from working.<\/p>\n

The closing of health centres in the camp caused a “health crisis and fear” among the displaced people, according to the spokesman for Otash. \u201cIf doctors do not resume work within the camp, it will cause a major crisis,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The spokesman said they had held a meeting with the commission of the locality, which has promised to resume the doctors working at health centres next Sunday<\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Separately, Otash residents are experiencing a lack of gas for eight days, the spokesman explained. \u201cThe lack of gas may cause disruption with the 33 water pumps inside the camp.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to a woman working in the camp, the organisation does not have the funding to solve the problem of the water pumps and wants to leave the financing to the displaced themselves.<\/p>\n
