Destroys five classrooms; displaces hundreds of students<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A fire broke out in a school in North Darfur’s Zamzam refugee camp on Wednesday, destroying five classrooms.<\/p>\n

The Al Salaam \u201c35\u201d secondary school caught fire at dawn on Wednesday. It spread to the staff room and destroyed a lot of documents stored there. An activist in the camp told Radio Dabanga that this was the second such incident in this week. Last week, a fire engulfed two classrooms of Al Salaam “19” secondary school.<\/p>\n

The activist raised suspicion of sabotage in the fire incidents. He pointed out that the both incidents had occurred around the same time in the morning.<\/p>\n

He explained that the fire in the school had led to the displacement of hundreds of students.<\/p>\n

Many refugee students in Zamzam camp were also expelled<\/a> from school this week due to non-payment of fees. The activist called on humanitarian organizations and relevant bodies to contribute aid towards rebuilding the destroyed classrooms and staff rooms.<\/p>\n
