Emergency Response Rooms' Communal Kitchens Help Sudanese Displaced By War

TINE, CHAD - MAY 4: Sudanese refugees from Zamzam camp outside of El Fasher, in Darfur, receive food at an Emergency Response Room Communal Kitchen while being relocated to the Iridimi transit camp near the Sudan-Chad border in Tine, in eastern Chad, on May 4, 2025. More than 400,000 people fled Zamzam after the RSF attacked the camp, killing dozens of civilians and setting homes and humanitarian offices on fire. Sudan has been plagued by a brutal civil war for over two years, with ongoing fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the RSF militia fighting for power. Because of ongoing budget cuts, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees does not have the budget to shelter and feed new refugees the way it has traditionally done; as a result, women, children, and vulnerable are sitting under the hot 100+ degree sun all day, with no shelters and little food.
