More than 90,000 displaced Darfuris are being deprived of food and all humanitarian aid. President Obama--please DO SOMETHING
Sudanese authorities are still barring humanitarian assistance to  Kalma in south Darfur.
Kalma  camp, located near Nyala, the capital of South Darfur, is home to  over 90,000 people,  most of whom are supporters of the Sudan Liberation  Movement led by rebel leader Abdel Wahid Al-Nur. Since August 2 authorities have surrounded the camp.

In its daily briefing of Thursday the peacekeeping mission confirmed  the blockade saying that “aid groups still await permission to enter  the camp.” The UNAMID also reported that the displaced  are being exposed to heavy  rainfall “increasing fears of health risks”.

Martin Nesirky, Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General Friday  limply confirmed the denial of humanitarian worker access to the camp on  Friday, saying,
“There is still no access.  --  Clearly, we would wish that to change.”

People from Kalma reached this week by the Sudan Tribune said residents  inside the camp are suffering from lack of food.
