Eight community kitchens are providing two hot meals per day for around 10,000 newly-displaced people in the Zamzam camp, south of Al-Fasher. The city has witnessed severe fighting over several months, disrupting the delivery of essential supplies and forcing tens of thousands of people from their homes. The project is being supported by the ICRC and the Sudanese Red Crescent Society (SRCS). Zamzam camp, established in 2004, is sheltering nearly half a million people and is considered by local communities as the last safe haven in northern Darfur. Food shortages are expected to get worse as newly-displaced families continue to arrive, fleeing the fighting in Al-Fasher.
