Reports from the city of Al-Sref Beni Hussein, which accommodates an estimated 100,000 displaced according to the locality\u2019s commissioner, claim that no relief has reached the area until Wednesday evening. Sources told Radio Dabanga no plane carrying aid has arrived to the area, as announced by the governor on Tuesday. They described the humanitarian situation in the city as \u201cdangerous\u201d and \u201cgoing from bad to worse\u201d, as tens of thousands of people are living in the streets, schools and in government buildings. The sources added that the displaced are suffering from the extreme cold and stressed that the city ran out of consumer goods.<\/p>\n

It was added that diarrhea is emerging among children, caused by the over crowdedness as well as a deterioration of cattle\u2019s health conditions due to the lack of farmlands in the surrounding villages.<\/p>\n

The people of Al-Sref Beni Hussein appealed to national and international humanitarian organizations to act urgently to save the newly displaced in the area. <\/p>\n
