Hundreds of Thousands Lack Adequate Shelter at Sudan's Tawila Camp The recent influx of new tents in Sudan's Tawila camp has been touted as a relief effort by the International Organization for Migration and Turkish Disaster and Emergency Management Authority.
However, with over 665,000 displaced people crammed into a relatively small area, these 3,000 new tents are woefully inadequate, leaving thousands exposed to the elements, hunger, and disease.
This situation is part of a broader pattern of humanitarian shortcomings in Sudan. The war torn country has been plagued by chronic food shortages, poor sanitation, and limited access to healthcare.
