Thousands have been killed by violence. Those who have fled violent attacks — mostly women and young children — are dying from starvation and disease.

In Sudan and neighboring Chad, CARE staff is:

  • Providing food, blankets, cooking pots and soap that will help people survive life the harsh terrain of the camps.
  • Digging wells and hauling water to provide clean water in Darfur
  • Operating a therapeutic feeding hospital for severely malnourished children and trauma recovery support to victims of violence.
  • Managing four refugee camps in Chad to supply new refugees with food, water, medical attention and shelter.
