According to the organisation’s statement, the programme targeted 400 displaced families from the most vulnerable groups, including women, widows, orphans, children, the elderly and people with disabilities, in addition to households facing severe humanitarian hardship.
The group noted that the number of newly displaced families in Tawila is estimated at around 35,000, with numbers continuing to rise. It warned that displaced communities face severe shortages of food, shelter, drinking water and healthcare, amid a steadily deteriorating humanitarian situation and increasing risk of famine.
The organisation issued an urgent humanitarian appeal to local, regional and international relief bodies to help close the widening food gap, provide essential supplies and deliver healthcare support to displaced families.
