Ghubeish — The 15,000 people who fled from the joint rebel forces' attacks on El Taweisha and Alliet Jarelnabi in North Darfur to Ghubeish in North Kordofan are living in a dire situation. 12,000 others, who sought refuge in the neighbouring villages of El Taweisha town, are not better off.

"The situation in El Taweisha and Alliet Jarelnabi has become extremely difficult," one of the newly displaced in Ghubeish told Radio Dabanga. "Only a few people remain there after the rebel attacks.

They also set a number of houses on fire in El Taweisha."
