People escaping fighting, lack of essential supplies in Heglig area faced with tough humanitarian conditions in search for shelter and safety.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Kosti, Sudan \u2013<\/strong> The flow of displaced people fleeing the fighting in Sudan shows no sign of slowing \u2013 the latest hailing from Heglig.<\/p>\n

In early December, the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) seized<\/a> the strategic Heglig oilfield in West Kordofan province after its rival, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), withdrew from the area.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nearly 1,700 displaced people, most of them children and women, escaped the fighting in the southern region and the lack of basic necessities.<\/p>\n

Some of them were fortunate enough to board trucks as they fled from their towns and villages in the area. After an arduous journey, the displaced people arrived at their new home \u2013 the Gos Alsalam displacement camp in Kosti, a city in the White Nile province.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe left without anything \u2026 we just took some clothes,\u201d said an elderly woman who appeared exhausted and frail.\"Sudan<\/p>\n

Inside the camp, the people arriving are faced with extremely harsh humanitarian conditions. Tents are being pitched in haste, but as the number of displaced people grows, so do the immense humanitarian needs. Yet, humanitarian support remains insufficient to cover even the bare minimum.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have no blankets or any sheets, nothing. We are old people,\u201d said a displaced elderly woman.<\/p>\n

\u2018I gave birth in the street\u2019<\/h2>\n

Nearly three years of war between the RSF and SAF have forced 14 million people to flee their homes in a desperate attempt to find shelter and safety away from the heavy fighting that has killed tens of thousands.<\/p>\n

Some 21 million across the country are facing acute hunger, in what the United Nations calls the world\u2019s largest humanitarian crisis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a small corner of the Gos Alsalam camp, Umm Azmi sits next to her newborn baby. She recalled how she was overtaken by labour on the road and delivered her baby in the open air without any medical assistance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was trying for nine months \u2026 but I gave birth in the street \u2013 the condition is very difficult,\u201d the mother said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had just given birth, and I had nothing to eat. Sometimes we eat anything we find in the streets,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
