Inform
yourself about the crisis -
The
humanitarian situation remains catastrophic, due to ongoing state-sponsored
violence, layers of aid obstruction, the lack of an overall humanitarian
strategic plan, and the weakened state of displaced Sudanese. Refugees
and internally displaced persons (IDPs), a disproportionate number of
them women, are in terribly weakened states, subject to sexual abuse
and without adequate shelter. The numbers of at-risk civilians continue
to increase. And as need far outstrips the ability of agencies to deliver
aid, and access is restricted due to instability, localised famine is
feared.
The
Office of the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for Sudan
publishes weekly roundups of the situation in Darfur and more frequent
sitreps. Click on the following links to access the reports:
