New Delhi ( The Indian View team) : The humanitarian situation in the Sudanese city of El-Obeid is worsening rapidly, the United Nations said Friday, as displacement camps swelled with new arrivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UN has been warning for weeks that atrocities similar to those committed during the paramilitary assault on the Darfur city of El-Fasher in October last year could be repeated in El-Obeid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UN\u2019s World Food Programme said El-Obeid\u2019s population had all but doubled, though it was only able to feed a fraction of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city continues to be stressed on food, water and fuel,\u201d said Abdallah Alwardat, WFP\u2019s Sudan country director, after visiting El-Obeid on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat we have seen, simply: a city over 500,000-600,000 population has almost double\u201d that number due to internally displaced persons (IDPs) moving in from the wider Kordofan region, he told reporters in Geneva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The war between Sudan\u2019s regular army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) that erupted in April 2023 has killed 200,000 people by some estimates and displaced upwards of 11 million. Several areas of Sudan have been plunged into hunger and famine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A strategic hub in the southern Kordofan region, El-Obeid has been encircled for months by the RSF. Alwardat said more than 120,000 people were living in camps, but many more were living with host communities or making their own shelter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WFP has provided food assistance to more than 100,000 people in the camps, \u201cbut there are many more IDPs in that city and they need urgent assistance,\u201d Alwardat said, speaking from Kosti in Sudan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
