Refugee families with nowhere to go

Last march, when the ICC indicted Sudanese President Omer Al Bashir for war crimes and crimes against humanity, he expelled sixteen humanitarian agencies from the Darfur region. The UN called the expulsions 'catastrophic' saying mant times that it would be impossible to cover the gap left by such key humanitarian organizations as Save the Children, Oxfam and Doctors without Borders, who had provided half of the humanitarian assistance to Darfur's four million displaced people. Long accustomed to deprivation, many refugees from camps in South Darfur now say that the lack of food, water and basic medical care has left them no choice but to leave the camps and try to survive on the outskirts of towns.
