An international aid worker has reported that all roads surrounding Sudan's famine-stricken Zamzam camp in North Darfur have been blocked, making the security situation for aid workers on the ground unbearable. Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has suspended its activities in the camp due to safety concerns arising from intensified fighting between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The ongoing conflict, which began in April 2023, has resulted in the deaths of at least 20,000 people and forced over 14 million individuals from their homes, leading to famine in various parts of the country. MSF cited challenges in delivering supplies and ensuring the safety of its staff as reasons for halting operations in Zamzam Camp.
