The people of Darfur are suffering greatly due to lack of access to basic necessities. They have little food or water, causing many to become thin and malnourished or die. Many have also lost family and friends to violence and conflict. Additionally, the people of Darfur lack adequate shelter, education, and healthcare. As a result of the poverty, children do not regularly attend school and the medical care is insufficient, leading to preventable sickness and death.
