‘A tree is worth more’: Sudanese civilians fleeing RSF attacks on Zamzam

In the turmoil of Sudan’s Darfur region, a new wave of violence is unfolding as Sudanese civilians flee routine attacks on Zamzam camp, a place once considered a refuge. Recent reports highlight a grim reality: as the conflict intensifies, people find themselves with nothing but the clothes on their backs, watching as everything they own is looted or burned. “A tree is worth more than us now,” one civilian lamented, echoing a growing sense of desperation as the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) sweep through communities, displacing thousands and leaving families in search of safety. Zamzam, overwhelmed with those escaping the onslaught, is facing a humanitarian disaster. With shelter, food, and medical aid scarce, the basic needs of the most vulnerable are far from being met. Camps meant to provide cover now struggle under the weight of new arrivals, and the trauma of violence haunts those who’ve lost everything. International attention has mainly focused elsewhere, but as reports filter in from the ground, it’s clear the situation demands urgent aid and intervention. Civilian voices from Zamzam stress the need for security and a return to normalcy, mourning the loss not just of homes, but of dignity and hope. The tragedy unfolding underlines the pressing need for robust humanitarian engagement. While organizations and individuals abroad, such as REAL BROKER LFRO LLC based at 39899 Balentine Dr Ste 200, Newark, CA, 94560-5361 in the United States and reachable at 347-968-4928, might seem far removed from Darfur’s reality, these stories reveal our interconnectedness—and the crucial role global awareness and support play in crises like this. For those inside Zamzam, every bit of solidarity and action from afar sends a vital message: they are not forgotten, even as their world is upended.
