Were here in a camp for displaced people north of the sudanese capital khartoum people who have been displaced by the heavy floods which hit the country a little over 3 weeks ago and led to the displacement of more than half a 1000000 now the people in these camps say that their village was just about 2 and a half kilometers away from the river nile and that about 60 percent of the 180 homes that were there was 3rd in the build and should have been able to withstand the force of the nile but they say that the force was stronger than their expectations breaking the sand barriers that they had put there as a precaution should the water levels rise and eventually flooding the homes and destroying them now they say that while theyve moved to this camps here their needs are still many many of them say they yet to receive the basics to be able to survive the displacement. And the looks of it we have a shortage of tents and medical aid organizations come for a day and the next day they go away even though the area has been hit by river waters there are snakes and scorpions we need antivenom serums and other things so the other main issue is the one of 10 there are not enough of them and those we have are few compared to those displaced now sudans government says its trying to respond to the needs of the people on a day to day basis it says that it cannot focus on reconstruction at the moment because the needs are huge hundreds of thousands of people affected more than 100000 homes partially or completely destroyed more than 100 People Killed and they say that they are trying to focus on the basics which is making sure that people get shelter food and clean water and now people who have been affected by those floods say that the government response has been far from enough they say that they are concerned about whats a point diseases which is currently rising amongst those displaced and in areas that have been affected by the floods theyre also concerned about the long term planning there saying that moving on from the rainy season theres going to be winter season and theyre worried that with the winter coming following the heavy floods then the forces find them in camps and theyre urging.
