After fleeing the inferno of war in el-Fasher in North Darfur State and travelling more than 1,600km (9,995 miles) to safety, Sanaa Ahmed thought the worst was behind her. But in the Al-Sarraf camp in eastern Sudan, she has faced suffering of a different kind.

“We fled here with nothing,” Sanaa told Al Jazeera Mubasher. “Now Ramadan has come, and we don’t even have a pot to cook in or a cup to drink from. If you have a bucket or a jug, that’s it.”
