Eugurgur Camp in Sudan, which is home to Eritreans and Ethiopians, has been flooded out. Many have lost all they own and are living in tents deep in the water.
About 305 Eritrean refugee are there who were displaced from Khartoum a few months ago. They joined the 1800 or so other refugees who were already in the camp.
Although they were grateful for the assistance provided to transport them to Eugurgur camp, the situation at the camp poses many problems including:
- Flooding (see attached videos. This has continued in late August.)
- Lack of medical assistance.
- No school for the 105 children of the 305, and this is becoming serious concern for the families and children’s future.
- There are disabled people (some due to age, and some due to warring in Khartoum, and some due to personal abuse).
- They need to have registration by UNHCR.
Shelters have been destroyed by rains and flooding: see videos below.
Due to the conditions they faced over the last three years in Khartoum and their family situations, there are individuals who need psychological and trauma service assistance, as well as basic supplies to survive.

It is heart breaking and what can we do when our leaders, within & outside, Africa have no the hearts to feel the suffering of these displaced innocent human beings.
