The Crisis
A humanitarian catastrophe has been underway in Darfur, Sudan since 2003. Darfur is the western province of Sudan, and is inhabited predominantly by black non-Arab people. The government of Sudan is located in the eastern part of the country and is predominantly Arab. Since 2003, the government has supported a military operation to clear Darfur of its black population. During this time, over 400,000 people have been killed and approximately three million displaced from their homes. As the conflict drags on, a grave humanitarian crisis is worsening. Food, water and medical-supply shortages in the Displaced Persons Camps are getting worse every day, and the conflict has become so dangerous that many NGO’s are stopping their humanitarian aid programs in the region.
