Doctors Without Borders seeking help.
Medicins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) is seeking help for the growing crisis in the Sudan and in Chad, where most of the Sudanese refugees are going. See the article on their website
here. I guess they need help in lots of places, but this is the current priority.
Despite announcements of forthcoming aid, assistance is utterly inadequate. Mobilization of aid efforts is slow and the few organizations operating in Darfur cannot meet the full range of needs. As a result, few of the estimated 600,000-800,000 people displaced by violence in Darfur are receiving food assistance. Furthermore, shelters and drinking water are in very short supply and access to medical care is extremely limited.
