fled with her family after their house was destroyed. They hoped
to find food and shelter, but only got blankets and a bottle of water upon arrival in Hamdiyet.
“Our numbers were greater than the supplies available in the camp,” she said.
“We ended up being hosted by a Sudanese family. This is our second month living with them."
Zahraa Abu-Bakr, a 25-year-old Sudanese woman who lives with her husband and four children in Hamdiyet,
decided to host Jannat and her eight family members
after seeing the shortage of
supplies.
“Although we are not leading an easy life and we suffer from soaring prices, we’ve decided we can’t leave the refugees to starve, so we opened our homes to them, sharing with them the little food we have,” Ms Abu-Bakr said.
