Kadugli, November 15 (Darfur24)
A fire has destroyed 60 homes and partially damaged 13 others at a displacement site in Kadugli, South Kordofan State, leaving displaced families with significant property and agricultural losses. No casualties were reported.
A member of the camp’s services committee said the fire broke out at around 11 a.m. in one of the shelters at the Land Port site. Strong winds fueled the flames, causing them to spread rapidly to neighbouring homes.
The fire also destroyed agricultural produce and other personal belongings, the committee member said in a statement.
Eyewitnesses said the shelters, mostly built from locally available materials, let the flames spread quickly.
No residents were injured because most were away earning a living through farming, livestock herding and market activities when the fire broke out.
The Land Port site in Kadugli has been sheltering people displaced by fighting in the Lagawa area of West Kordofan State.
