Secretariat of Humanitarian Affairs and Organizations.
Introduction:
In line with the moral responsibility of the Gathering Of Sudan Liberation Forces (GSLF), the Secretariat of Humanitarian Affairs and Organizations has collected highly accurate information on the conditions of both long-term and newly displaced persons across all camps in the Darfur region.
The findings reveal catastrophic consequences of the senseless war in Sudan, reaching unprecedented and dire levels. We warn of the escalating humanitarian and health crisis in the displacement camps of Darfur, where the situation is deteriorating rapidly and alarmingly each day. Words fail to adequately describe the current humanitarian emergency — it is a reality that brings tears of pain and stirs one’s conscience. We are powerless to save lives due to the appalling and terrifying extent of the crisis.
There is a sharp rise in acute clinical malnutrition, particularly among children, pregnant women, mothers, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. There is also a surge in diseases such as malaria, infections, diarrheal illnesses, respiratory infections, typhoid, and other undiagnosed conditions.
Displacement Statistics
The estimated number of both long-term and newly displaced individuals in Darfur exceeds 8 million people.
Basic Needs
Food: All types.
Medicines: Life-saving medications.
Drinking Water: Clean and safe for human consumption.
Shelter Materials: Including tents, plastic sheeting, blankets, sleeping mats, clothing, mosquito nets, and local building materials such as wood and straw for constructing temporary homes, especially with the approaching rainy season.
Healthcare Services: Medical staff and essential medical tools and supplies.
We, at the Secretariat of Humanitarian Affairs and Organizations of the Gathering Of Sudan Liberation Forces (GSLF), sound the alarm on the severe shortages of food, medicine, shelter materials, clean water, and medical personnel in the Darfur region.
Urgent Humanitarian Appeal
We issue an urgent humanitarian appeal to the entire world: to the United Nations and all its humanitarian agencies, to organizations working in the medical field, to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), and to all humanitarian organizations and supporting nations.
We call for immediate and active contributions to save 8 million Sudanese citizens currently living under the worst humanitarian conditions imaginable.

Conclusion
These are the displaced victims of the ongoing war in Sudan, specifically in the Darfur region. A large number of displaced persons have arrived in Jebel Marra from Al-Jazira, the Kanabi, Khartoum, Omdurman, and all other regions of Sudan originally home to some people from Darfur.
There are no opportunities for employment or sources of income in Darfur. Everyone here is unemployed and depends solely on humanitarian aid from international organizations, which have yet to reach them at the time of writing this report.
