AI Summary

short article 2 min

Due to the ongoing conflict in Sudan, women in displacement camps, particularly in Ad-Damazin, Blue Nile State, are increasingly taking on manual labor roles traditionally held by men to provide for their families. The nearly three-year war between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces has created a humanitarian crisis, leaving over 30 million people in need of assistance. With widespread displacement affecting 13.6 million people, women like Rasha are working as woodcutters and in other strenuous jobs to secure basic necessities like food and soap. The UN reports acute food shortages and disease outbreaks are worsening the situation for the population of 46.8 million.
