The general coordination body for displaced people and refugees in Darfur has warned of a catastrophic deterioration in humanitarian conditions across camps in the region. A spokesperson said food aid has completely stopped reaching camps at Fata Borno, Kutum and Kassab in North Darfur.

Hunger, disease and despair are reportedly mounting rapidly across nearly all camps except Tawila. Officials say the ongoing war in Sudan is placing an ever-heavier burden on the civilian population.

International aid organizations say access to the region remains restricted due to security concerns, complicating relief efforts. Civil society groups are calling for urgent intervention from the international community.
