Darfur Violence Escalates, Charity Programs Expand
Since early February, the violence in the Darfur region of Sudan has dramatically escalated, resembling levels of five years ago when the conflict began.
Global Impact Member Charities Continue Their Life-Saving Work in Darfur
While the political battles continue, Global Impact member charities continue their life-saving work for the people at the center of the crisis—the residents who have had their lives uprooted.
The Violence Shows No Signs of Diminishing
More than 3 million people receive food aid every month in Sudan, most of them in Darfur. Humanitarian aid workers report that signs of malnutrition are increasing, in part because of the difficulty of getting food aid distributed.
Rainy Season in Darfur Brings No Relief
In the past, farmers in western Sudan anticipated the arrival of the rainy season as the start of the planting season. For refugees in the Darfur region of Sudan, however, there is only anticipation of continued misery. Many temporary camps are closed to new arrivals, but thousands of refugees continue to come to the remaining camps, straining resources to the maximum.
It's Going to be a Long Stay
There is no letup in the crisis in Darfur, in western Sudan. Refugee camps continue to swell with those displaced from their homes, sheltering up to 100,000 people in areas where the original population was perhaps one-tenth that number.
Darfur Refugees Trapped in a “State of Bare Survival and Little Hope”
In 2006 alone, more than 450,000 people were newly displaced, according to United Nations estimates, bringing the total number of people displaced to approximately 2.5 million—the population of Chicago, Illinois—since the crisis began in 2003.
