15 May 2011
UNAMID observed yesterday a serious humanitarian crisis in Otash internally displaced people (IDP) camp, near Nyala, South Darfur, resulting from an outbreak of measles, meningitis and diarrhoea.
International NGOs with clinics in the camp are reportedly running out of drugs to attend the affected population. The Mission has reported the issue to the Sudanese Ministry of Health.

Measles infection kills two children in camp near El Geneina
EL GENEINA (8 Jun .) -
Measles infection led to the death of two children in the camp of Abuz near the city of El Geneina in West Darfur during the two days Sunday and Monday. A sheikh from the camp told Radio Dabanga that they are afraid that the very contagious disease would spread, especially in light of lack of any effort to prevent or contain the disease.
13 children die in one week in Zamzam due to measles and diarrhea He also stated that the ANC medical organization which is working in the camp announced that it has ended its work in the camp. The camp lacks any other medical organization. The sheikh said that they have held a meeting with the minister of health who informed them that the ministry does not have any medication for the disease.
Dr. Wali Eldeen Elfaki, a pediatric specialist, called on to the citizens to avoid crowded places to avoid getting infected by the disease, which he said is transmitted through breathing. Dr. Elfaki, during an interview with Radio Dabanga, said that it is necessary to isolate a person infected with measles as well as taking the infected person to the nearest health center for treatment. http://www.radiodabanga.org/node/14938
