Sheikh Said Bakr, leader of Neem camp in East Darfur has said there are around one million people in the camp that have not received any food rations for a full year.<\/p>\n

In a interview with Radio Dabanga Sheikh AbuBabr said the conditions are catastrophic noting that the camp residents were forced out of their homes as their villages were attacked.<\/p>\n

He said they had told the World Food Programme and the Humanitarian Aid Commission but neither have moved to take any action.<\/p>\n

He appealed to the both bodies to act immediately to save these people from hunger before the situation deteriorates further.<\/p>\n

Water crisis adding to woes<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Sheikh also said a water crisis is increasing the suffering of camp residents, along with a deterioration in health services after the government suspended Sudan Aid, a body running the health centres across Neem camp.<\/p>\n

He said patients in need of critical care are forced to find their way to Daein hospital, which is also stuggling under the weight of increased demand.<\/p>\n

The Sheikh appealed to HAC and humanitarian organisations to resolve the water crisis and work to proivde urgently needed health services, especially before Autumn approaches.<\/p>\n
