Interview with a fire survivor

You told me you wanted to talk to me.

At night, we passed by the bed, and the fire consumed him.

We left and left him there.

And who did the fire consume?

On his head, on her face, on our hands, and on our feet.

Your sister.

Where is your sister now?

In Dongola.

What is she doing in Dongola?

At the hospital.

At the hospital. Did you go see her or not?

Are you alone now, or is someone with you?

My brothers are with me.

Your brothers.

They're sitting here.

And who took your sister to Dongola?

The doctors.

The burn doctors. Where was she burned?

Here, in our house.

But where on her body was she burned?

On our hands, our feet, and our faces.

When was the last time you saw her?

You haven't seen her?

Only in a picture.

In a picture.

But did you talk to her or not?

She doesn't speak.

She doesn't speak.

My brothers are little.

Little. And you're the oldest of your sisters.

And where is your father?

Dad. Dad is here with her.

Where?

Dad is here with some people.

With you?

Where is Dad?

With the people here.

But where is Dad?

Dad is with Mom's people.

With your mother's people. And where is your mother?

With my sister at the hospital.

With your sister at the hospital. And you're here alone.

I'm with my brothers.

Your younger brothers are all alone.

What do you need? When someone listens to you,

they might help you.

How can we help you?

I...

I don't know.

How?

I don't know.

You don't know.

When did you leave El Fasher?

I left El Fasher.

When?

When?

Since the war started.

Since the beginning of the war.

Yes.
