This is the first time I have sent you an email concerning a world
crisis and the need to donate. But the situation in Darfur is
beyond comprehension. The one shred of hope is that one organization
alone is still allowed in Darfur to help its children, UNICEF. Please
consider sending in a donation to help the children of Darfur.
Below is the info he sent on, I encourage you to help however you can...
The situation in Sudan, following the decision by its government to
expel 16 aid organizations (also known as non-governmental
organizations or NGOs), is urgent. These 16 NGOs represent roughly 40%
of the humanitarian workforce in Sudan and partner closely with UNICEF
to provide lifesaving assistance.
UNICEF is still operational in Sudan, including Darfur, and is working
around the clock to meet children’s immediate needs. UNICEF has urged
the government of Sudan to reinstate the NGOs as soon as possible and
expressed grave concern that children will suffer should humanitarian
aid be further disrupted.
Water, sanitation, health and nutrition programs provide essential aid
to 4.7 million people in Darfur region alone. The next three months
will be especially critical. But the impact of the absence of NGO
partners—and the resulting loss of capacities—will continue to be felt
well beyond this period.
Today we are asking donors and friends to help us by increasing the
support you already show. We're asking you to go one step further—and
quickly—so we can keep the water flowing, the food supplies delivered,
and the vaccines administered for the next couple of months.
Regardless of the complexities, politics or cultural issues at play,
zero children should have to die as a result of humanitarian aid
disruption. We are asking the millions of Americans who have
supported the Darfuri people to help during this very difficult time.
