Humanitarian partners continue to assist people affected by inter-communal violence between Massalit and Arab tribespeople in and around El Geneina town, where a dispute in Krinding IDP camp (approx. 3 km east of El Geneina) on 28 December 2019, fueled a series of incidents and killed 54 people and injured 60.

Since 28 December 2019, a dispute between Massalit and Arab tribesmen in Krinding displacement camp (about 3 km east of El Geneina), has fueled a series of incidents and increased tensions in and around El Geneina, West Darfur, resulting in widespread internal displacement.

Over the next 4 to 7 days, UNFPA will deploy a team of reproductive health specialists and experts in preventing/responding to gender-based violence to El Geneina to coordinate humanitarian responses in these areas.

To date, 75,438 people, including 18,860 women of reproductive age, remain displaced from Al-Hassakeh, Ar-Raqqa and Aleppo governorates. 117,132 people have returned to their areas of origin. A large number of this population has been displaced more than once.

UNFPA continues to provide services to people in need of sexual and reproductive health and gender-based violence integrated services, with a focus on the needs of women and adolescent girls. A variety of SRH services are being delivered, including antenatal care, family planning, normal delivery services, postnatal care, referrals, treatment of reproductive tract/urinary tract infection, treatment of trauma, and others.
