Khartoum: United Nations Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Sudan, Clementine Nkweta-Salami, stated that the recent attacks in North Sudan have caused mass displacement of people. According to Kuwait News Agency, Salami emphasized that the current mass displacement, particularly from Zamzam, Abu Shouk, and other displaced camps, has resulted in an estimated 400,000-450,000 people moving toward Tawila, areas surrounding Jebel Marra, and beyond. These movements are increasingly fluid and unpredictable, driven by ongoing hostilities and fears of a broader offensive on El Fasher. She further warned that the situation is compounded by rising levels of food insecurity, as displaced populations are increasingly cut off from supply chains and assistance. This places them at heightened risk of epidemic outbreaks, malnutrition, and famine. Salami made it clear that the scale and gravity of reported violations, including direct attacks on internally displaced persons and humanitarian personnel, are unacceptable . She stressed that civilians must never be a target and that forced displacement must never be a precondition for accessing life-saving aid.
