"We fled here with nothing. Now Ramadan has come, and we don't even have a pot to cook in or a cup to drink from. If you have a bucket or a jug, that's it. The water is available, but there is no food. They give us a meal, but it's not a real meal, and it's not enough."
"Back home, Ramadan was perfect. You would prepare everything a month or two in advance. But here, we fasted the first day, not knowing what we would break our fast with. We ended up eating with neighbours because we had nothing."
"No organisation has entered with a food basket or cash assistance. We can't feed our children unless we go into the city to wash clothes or iron menial jobs just to survive."
Thousands of displaced people from el-Fasher in North Darfur have fled over 1,600 kilometers to Al-Sarraf camp in eastern Sudan seeking safety from war. Despite reaching a sanctuary away from front lines, families face extreme hardship with inadequate food rations, no medicine, and insufficient basic supplies like cooking utensils and containers. During Ramadan, traditionally a month of community and shared meals, displaced families struggle daily to find enough food to break their fast at sunset. Aid organizations provide minimal assistance, with single bowls of porridge distributed to families of seven to ten people. Women resort to menial labor in nearby cities to earn money for food, unable to rely on humanitarian support.
