ALL ROADS around Sudan’s famine-stricken Zamzam camp in North Darfur are blocked and the security situation has become “unbearable,” an international aid worker said on Tuesday.

Doctors Without Borders, also known by its French name Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), has suspended its activities in the camp of a half-million people because of safety concerns caused by fighting between the Sudanese army and the rival paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

“There have been no more MSF activities for a couple of days now in Zamzam because the security was unbearable for our team,” said Marion Ramstein, MSF’s project co-ordinator for North Darfur.
