A number of refugees in North Darfur\u2019s Zam Zam camp have been injured as a result of a government operation on Wednesday. <\/span><\/div>\n

Inhabitants of the camp said that central reserve forces (also referred to as Abu Tirat) opened fire indiscriminately on the same day adding to panic and fear among residents. <\/span><\/div>\n
