Please refer to the attached file. Site Overview: As Salam Site, Nertiti, Central Darfur, was established in May 2026 to relocate displaced households sheltering in schools across the locality and allow schools to reopen. Community consultations were reportedly conducted prior to relocation, and households agreed to move to the site. The relocation process was planned in two phases, with 986 households relocated from 12 schools during Phase I and approximately 3, 000 additional households expected during Phase II. The site is located approximately 1 km from Nertiti town and is divided into North and South blocks. Local authorities secured landowner approval for the South Block in July 2026. The site faces several environmental and humanitarian concerns. The South Block is reportedly prone to flooding during the rainy season, potentially affecting shelter conditions. The nearest health facility, Nertiti Rural Hospital, is located approximately 5 km away and remains overstretched.
