Abstract

As the conflict in Darfur persists, conditions continue to deteriorate for those living in the area. Hundreds of thousands of people have been killed, even by the most conservative estimates. The United Nations puts the death toll at roughly 300,000 (Lederer, 2008). Up to 2.5 million Darfuris have fled their homes and continue to live in camps throughout Darfur, or in refugee camps in neighboring Chad and the Central African Republic.
