DPDO is deeply saddened to report the bombing that occurred on May 4 at the Shegekaro School of Peace in North Darfur. This tragedy left 6 students dead and devastated the community. One of the two water pumps accessible to the Shegekaro community was destroyed in the attack, forcing families to wait into the night at the one remaining water pump to collect water. DPDO is currently working on getting an estimate on the damages done to the water pump and the cost of repairing it.
