Rhino: Agencies – More than (8) thousand South Sudanese refugees in Adilla locality in the Sudanese state of East Darfur are currently facing the specter of starvation, thirst and lack of health services.

The civil activist in Adilla, Mohamed El Light Escola, told Radio Tamazuj that the South Sudanese refugees in the city are living in tragic conditions due to the lack of food and medicine in the complete absence of international and local relief organizations.

The refugees reside in two main camps, with the first camp located north of the city (4800) refugees, while the second camp located south of the city (2600) refugees. Iskola said that South Sudanese refugees in the two camps lack the most basic necessities of life.

For his part, Sultan Tong, a community leader in the main camp, confirmed that the refugees are suffering from hunger and thirst, and are living in a very difficult situation.

Tong said that their situation has worsened since the outbreak of the war in Sudan until it reached this dangerous stage.
