A displaced man from Gereida camp in South Darfur has allegedly been killed by pro-government militiamen and two others were wounded in the same incident on Wednesday, 26 December.<\/p>\n
A female camp activist told Radio Dabanga that around 30 militiamen on camels shot three displaced people who were collecting hay in an area about 3 kilometers south of Gereida. She added that Yasser Osman Ahmed died on the spot and that both Abbas Abdul Rahman and Dugush Suleiman were seriously wounded in the attack.<\/p>\n
She revealed that the Gereida hospital administration charged an amount of 1400 Sudanese pounds for operating Abbas Abdul Rahman and Dugush Suleima; which the victims cannot afford. The activist appealed to humanitarian organizations and those \u2018with merciful hearts\u2019 to save the lives of both victims.<\/p>\n
“Tragic living conditions”<\/strong><\/p>\n Meanwhile, displaced people from Gereida have described their living and health conditions as \u2018tragic\u2019. They added that they are not able to leave the camp to make a living or even to go shopping out of fear for attacks and other repeated violations by \u2018pro-government\u2019 militiamen.<\/p>\n They disclosed that 12,000 Sudanese pounds had been paid to the Popular Defense Forces commander of the area to recover the livestock and large amounts of money looted by pro-government militiamen, however he has not returned any livestock nor returned any of the 12,000 pounds so far.<\/p>\n Furthermore, the displaced have complained that Gereida hospital only executes surgical operations if the procedure is paid in advance. They added that many sick and wounded displaced died as a result of their inability to pay the fees in advance. <\/p>\n
