SUDAN
In Sudan INTERSOS intervened
in Darf ur
immediately assisting Darfur refugees in Chad. There were initially
accessibility problems and INTERSOS
had to put pressure to be able to intervene in the current worst
humanitarian crisis. Finally, when permits and visa were obtained,
INTERSOS
started activities in June 2004 and is currently present with a
coordination office in Khartoum and four operational basis in Al
Geneina, Habillé, Forobaranga and Garsila. The logistic support
of the four basis in the heart of Darfur allow INTERSOS
staff to be present in the field evening villages often forgotten
by humanitarian aid. The population, displaced by the civil war,
live in a very difficult situation. Health emergencies caused by
the outbreak of epidemics, violence against the displaced as well
as resident population, are still on-going.
In Sudan, as in Chad, INTERSOS
works with UNHCR to analyse the situation of the refugees and displaced
people, both in Chad and in the areas of origin in Western Darfur.
The objective is to have a reliable collection of information and
a complete picture of the humanitarian situation in the whole region
both concerning basic needs, such as water, food, education, health,
and concerning the monitoring of the security conditions and the
level of vulnerability of the displaced population., in order to
be able to prepare the return to their places of origin both of
refugees from Chad and of internally displaced people.
