Another 721 displaced families have arrived in Al-Tina, a locality along Sudan’s border with Chad, bringing the reported number of displaced households in the area to 15,823 as worsening insecurity forces civilians to flee communities across North Darfur.
The Al-Tina Emergency Rooms Council said the latest families reached the locality between October 25 and November 5, seeking refuge from escalating violence and deteriorating security conditions.
According to the council, the newly displaced households were distributed across 10 reception sites, adding pressure to communities already struggling with shortages of food, water, shelter and healthcare.
Many families fled without sufficient belongings or supplies, with some enduring exhausting journeys before reaching relative safety.
Children have been forced to abandon their schools, while elderly people, women and those with medical conditions face increasingly difficult conditions without adequate accommodation or essential services.
Local emergency volunteers warned that limited resources and rising prices have severely weakened their ability to respond to the growing displacement crisis.
They said many newly arrived families have lost their sources of income and are unable to afford food, clean drinking water or shelter materials.
The council also reported continuing ground attacks and drone strikes across parts of North Darfur, alleging that populated areas and civilian infrastructure, including water facilities, healthcare centres and markets, have been affected.
The allegations could not be independently verified, and the council did not establish responsibility for every reported attack.
Emergency response groups appealed to the United Nations, international humanitarian organisations and relief agencies to urgently expand assistance.
They called for immediate food distributions, safe drinking water, emergency shelter, medical supplies and protection services, particularly for vulnerable families, children, elderly residents and people with disabilities.
The latest arrivals highlight the mounting humanitarian burden on border communities as displacement continues across Darfur amid Sudan’s prolonged war.
