Living conditions Nuba Mountains deteriorate

Mothers and children in the Haiban region in South Kordofan are suffering from the harsh living conditions due to the lack of food and medicine. The number of deaths caused by malnutrition among mothers and children has increased rapidly. Omer Abd El-Moneim, a humanitarian affairs coordinator in Haiban region, told Radio Tamazuj that mothers and children, from all the groups in the Nuba mountains, are affected the most by the war that broke out in South Kordofan last year June.

Thousands were forced to flee from the hell of war to caves and creeks in the mountains and neighbouring countries, in search of safety. Abd El-Moneim called upon humanitarian organizations and the United Nations to notice/pay attention to the Nuba Mountains to save the mothers and children before it is too late.
