Sudan Emergency Fund
Location: Zamzam Displaced Camp, El Fasher, Sudan
Beneficiaries: 600 families and 200 children
Stage: First Stage - Team 1
The Darfur Women Network (DWN), with generous support from GlobalGiving, continues to provide life-saving assistance to displaced families in Zamzam Camp and surrounding areas. Through the GlobalGiving Sudan Emergency Fund, DWN is reaching those affected by ongoing violence, delivering critical aid to people in the camp and those who have fled to seek safety in remote areas, under trees, or in makeshift shelters.
DWN Teams on the Ground in El Fasher
DWN has two teams operating in El Fasher, providing essential food and water to displaced families living in the seized city under constant airstrikes and ground attacks by the Rapid Support Force (RSF) militia. Despite the risks in the conflict zone, DWN and GlobalGiving are committed to delivering aid to the most vulnerable. Many families have fled Zamzam Camp, now hiding in small groups to escape airstrikes, enduring extremely dire conditions with limited protection, resources, or shelter.
Health Crisis
The conflict has caused numerous injuries, and the only hospital in the area has been destroyed. Among the injured is my cousin, who sustained broken legs and feet in the violence and is currently recovering. Medical staff are working under immense pressure to treat critical injuries from airstrikes, and some medical personnel have lost their lives.
