Darfur and Chad News
Ongoing conflict in the areas of Darfur and Chad has now affected over 4.5 million people, and the scale of suffering is increasing.
Since violence between the Government and rebels in Darfur started in 2003, two million people have fled their homes.
The situation is now in its fifth year, with people continuing to flee from the violence and joining vast, overcrowded camps.
Malnutrition levels are rising and extreme weather conditions are making aid delivery more difficult. The overcrowded camps and torrential rains increase the risk of disease such as malaria and cholera, as stagnant water becomes a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
