IDPS in Blue Nile Complain from Lack of Basic Services

Rosseries Oct 8 (SUNA)- A number of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPS) at AL Azaza camp in Blue Nile State have complained from lack of food, water, health and educational services The IDPS of the camp told European Union (EU) visiting delegation that they are staying in the camp since 2015. The Chief of the camp Bambas Magor explained that the IDPS were forced to sell off their cattle to move from war zone to relatively safety palces. He said that the camp has been receiving food from World Food program (WFP) since that time, but he said that the food delivered was not enough for feeding IDPS for one month because of continuous influxes of new comers to the camp. Meanwhile, Magor hoped hoped that peace will be achiieved so that the IDPS could return to their home villages. A displaced woman named Mawahib Ahmed said that life within the camp is difficult, especially for women and children. She indicated due to shortages in essential services women were forced to engage in hard work like agriculture or working as maidsin houses in order to secure their basic needs.  She affirmed that the camp is lacking health services and that children are not receiving health care.  AA/MO
