The world seems to have forgotten about the conflict #Sudan which erupted last April with terrible consequences for its civilians. Six million people are now displaced. #Darfur “I’ve been in this work for 30 years and this is probably one of the worst situations I’ve seen.”
An unimaginable humanitarian crisis is unfolding in #Sudan @refugees
