Sudan: Hunger, Disease, Dispair - Darfur's Displaced Bear Ever-Mounting Toll of Sudan War

Darfur / Amsterdam — The General Coordination of Camps for the Displaced and Refugees in Darfur warns of a catastrophic deterioration in humanitarian conditions across displacement camps in Sudan's Darfur region. Yagoub Furi, the coordination's general coordinator, tells Radio Dabanga that camps in North Darfur - with the exception of Tawila camp - are experiencing a complete absence of food aid, particularly the camps at Fata Borno, Kutum and Kassab.

Stéphane Dujarric, spokesperson for the UN secretary-general, tells a press conference at UN headquarters in New York that a recent assessment finds food is the highest priority for about 236,000 displaced people across five locations in West Jebel Marra locality.
