Kalma Camp in South Darfur flooded

NYALA (1 August) – The largest displaced camp in South Darfur, Kalma, has been flooded after heavy rains. The population of two main centres (Block 3 and 6) had to dwell to higher places. Aid-workers told Radio Dabanga that thousands of people are still surrounded by water. One of the camp-elders, Sheikh Ali Tahir said: ‘The situation is horrific. We need urgent help from UN and NGOs to receive assistance since there are not enough shelters available for all the dwellers’.
