A number of
residents told Radio Dabanga that the water stations on the Nile have
stopped pumping water into the water network of the town for several
continuous days. "Meanwhile, the parties responsible are completely
absent. This is causing a great suffering for the local people," a
listener said.
Since the beginning
of the fasting month of Ramadan, the capitals of North Darfur, Red Sea,
and Blue Nile states witnessed a severe shortage of drinking water
because of varying reasons: districts cut-off from the water network or
broken water pipelines. The prices for barrels of water increased
sharply.
Meanwhile,
residents of El Obeid in North Kordofan complained of a scarcity of
bread. "It is difficult to get bread, for which people have to queue in
front of a few bakeries to get their daily bread," a villager said.
A number of bakeries do not regularly open their doors in El Obeid, he added, but the reasons are unclear.
