More than 200,000 people have been killed and 3 million displaced from or within the Darfur region in western Sudan during the past three years. The crisis is caused by a conflict pitting rebels from African tribes against Arab militias allied to the government of Sudan.

The United States has called it genocide, and the United Nations has said it is the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.

Efforts to restore peace in war-torn Darfur have so far been unsuccessful. The killings and displacements continue, sending inhabitants into refugee camps across Sudan and neighboring Chad. Humanitarian organizations are attempting to offer various forms of relief assistance in the hundreds of camps that dot the region.
