The nutritional situation is very severe. Prices skyrocketed, and people cannot find food to eat. And on top of that, there is a war raging. All these factors are very concerning for children health.



A recent screening in Zamzam camp

shows a crisis that keeps getting worse



Close to 35% of children suffer from

acute malnutrition, among them

10% from its severe form.





In Zamzam camp, many displaced people arrived recently from different locations in North Darfur, especially from the capital El Fasher.





MSF opened an inpatient facility about six months ago. It is a field hospital that offers emergency services.



Malnutrition is the number one cause of children being admitted to our hospital.



Some children are given the autumn grass that has just grown. So, we expect the children to shortly come back to the hospital after treatment because the problem is there is nothing to eat at home.





Supply roads are controlled by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF)

who have prevented food and supplies

from getting in the camp.



We haven’t received any support for a few months now. Delivery of supplies by road is blocked and no aid is reaching the hospital.



Some of the antibiotics that we use to treat our patients in outpatient consultations have run out.



All options must be considered

to quickly bring in massive

quantities of food and supplies

in Zamzam camp and nearby areas
