Khartoum, Sudan – (African Boulevard News) – Displaced citizens in Wad Madani are struggling to withdraw cash from the only bank branch in the town. The situation has left many frustrated and unable to access their funds.
“I arrived at 6 o’clock and took a number, mine was 106. It’s just now that I have finally been able to withdraw the money. There are tragedies and significant overcrowding, and this is the only branch,” said a resident of Wad Madani.
The lack of access to cash is further worsening the already difficult living conditions of the displaced people in the region. Many of them rely on cash to buy their basic needs, including food, clothes, and medical supplies.
The branch, which is the only one in the town, is struggling to cope with the high number of people seeking to withdraw their money. The bank’s management has blamed the situation on the lack of resources and the high demand for cash.
“The situation is dire, and we are doing everything we can to address it. However, we are facing significant challenges, including lack of resources and the high demand for cash,” said a representative of the bank.
The situation has resulted in significant overcrowding, with many people waiting for hours to access their funds. The situation is posing a significant risk to public health, especially during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
The displaced citizens are calling on the government to intervene and address the situation promptly. They are also urging the bank to increase its capacity and open more branches to serve the growing number of people seeking access to their funds.
