Emergency appeal launched for Darfur and Chad
 The UK’s major charities have today launched an appeal to save lives in Darfur, Chad and the Central African Republic.
With over four million people affected by the ongoing conflict, the looming rains are bringing the risk of deadly conditions like diarrhoea and malaria, especially for children, pregnant mothers and the elderly. With malnutrition levels already rising in some areas, aid agencies are appealing for vital help to respond to the rapidly growing crisis. Aid agencies also need to bolster life-saving food and medicine stocks before the downpours hit any time within the next four weeks.
Money raised by this appeal will help people affected by the conflict, giving shelter, clean water and sanitation, emergency food and vital items such as water buckets, blankets and soap and enable medical teams to provide emergency care.
