Refugees bear extremes of heat and cold in tents made of cardboard and plastic <\/strong>More than 3,000 Darfuri refugees in Salom on the border between Egypt and Libya are facing terrible health, nutritional and security conditions. The refugees are former migrant workers who fled from Libya in recent months as the country became engulfed in civil war.<\/p>\n

Bahr Eldin Hussein, the head of the refugees and their spokesperson in the camp said in an interview with Radio Dabanga that they are facing severe shortages of water, food, medications and shelter. He stated that the refugees are living in tents made of cardboard and plastic in a region that is extremely cold at night and very hot during the day. The migrants eat very little food and have little drinking water and lack health services and medications. Bahr Eldin called on to the UN and humanitarian organizations to act quickly to solve their crisis, either by improving their circumstances or by relocating them in other countries.<\/p>\n

The camp spokesman added that security situation has been deteriorating daily, ever since a recent visit by Sudanese officials to Libya and Egypt.<\/p>\n
