SAD SUDAN

The sad state of Sudan..

United Nations figures estimate that 200,000 people have been killed and two million people have been driven into temporary camps as a result of the ongoing conflict between armed groups in the Darfur region of Western Sudan. The conflict is now entering into its fourth year and has been described by the United Nations as the worlds worst humanitarian disaster.

Conditions in Sudan’s Darfur region have deteriorated despite a peace deal that was signed in May 2006 and a recent upsurge in violence has restricted humanitarian aid reaching suffering populations. Hundreds of thousands have been left without help. Nearly four million people in Darfur currently depend on international aid for food, shelter and medical treatment.

There are many organisations currently working in Sudan to relieve the crisis such as World Vision.
