26,000 displaced people in Sabreen Camp are receiving only one-tenth of the water they need each day
El Daein: Sudanianews
Around 5,200 displaced families in Sabreen Camp in El Daein, East Darfur, need an estimated 500 barrels of water per day, according to the camp’s Emergency Response Room. CARE currently supplies 50 barrels a day, leaving a daily shortfall of 450 barrels. The camp relies entirely on water delivered by tanker, and one of its four water storage tanks is damaged. The shortage leaves families struggling to secure enough water for drinking and daily hygiene. We thank the organizations that have helped supply water to the camp. We urge them, along with donors and organizations working in water, sanitation and hygiene, to act now to: Increase water deliveries by tanker to close the daily gap and ensure regular distribution. Repair the damaged tank and expand the camp’s water storage capacity. Conduct an urgent technical assessment and fund a permanent water supply, including drilling a borehole at a suitable site, installing a pump and establishing safe, accessible water points. Water is a right. Sabreen deserves to live. Sabreen Camp Emergency Response Room
