The ongoing conflict in Sudan has led to severe humanitarian crises, exemplified by the story of Yasriya Muhammad al-Hassan, a 35-year-old woman from North Darfur. In a recent interview with Al Jazeera, Yasriya recounted the harrowing events of mid-June when a shell exploded during her brother's funeral, resulting in the deaths of seven people and injuries to several others, including herself and her sister. The attack, attributed to the Rapid Support Forces, forced Yasriya and her family to flee their home, which was later destroyed by shelling.
Yasriya's injuries necessitated the amputation of her leg due to complications from the blast and delays in receiving medical care. She expressed her emotional turmoil over the loss of her limb and the impact it has had on her life, stating, 'I was productive, I worked as a teacher... but now I need someone to help me.' Her family's situation worsened as they were forced to relocate to the Zamzam camp for displaced persons after their home was destroyed, highlighting the dire conditions faced by many in the region.
