The crisis in Darfur Sudan

The Crisis in Darfur, Sudan

Darfur is widely recognized as the most intractable complex humanitarian emergency (CHE) in the world today.

 

Precise estimates of the total number of people affected by this ongoing crisis vary, but its toll on more than 4 million people over the years - including 2.7 million estimated to be currently displaced from their homes - continues in the forms of disease, malnutrition and violence.

International pressure over the past few years to increase public awareness and to expand the flow of humanitarian aid has not been enough.

 

Despite continuing diplomatic and political efforts toward peace, humanitarian endeavors become more complicated with each passing day.

 

Of the millions who have been dependent on international aid for their survival, the U.N. estimates that more than half a million people are currently cut off from humanitarian assistance. These people could be reached, with increased support and commitments.
