The coordinator of internally displaced person camps in North Darfur, Ahmed Atim said the situation of civilians in Jebel Marra is becoming desperate.<\/p>\n

He said civilians are stranded with no access from humanitarian organisations including the World Food Programme (WFP).<\/p>\n

The coordinator appealed to the WFP to provide aid and relief to those affected north, west, east and south of Jebel Marra.<\/p>\n

He said they are in need of urgent humanitarian intervention.<\/p>\n

WFP lists miss thousands<\/strong><\/p>\n

Atim also called for the WFP to review the distribution of cards and registration process, which he said has missed thousands of names of displaced people still living at Abu Shouk and Zam Zam camps without urgently needed access to food.<\/p>\n

He said among those missing from the list are newborns and children born since the last census carried out in 2004.<\/p>\n

He said the WFP refuses to register these children saying they do not have birth certificates.<\/p>\n

With the situation in Darfur, many families have not been able to obtain birth certificates for their children, continued Atim.<\/p>\n

He demanded that the Programme immediately correct this problem and provide food to those who need it without conditions.<\/p>\n
