7800 people, mainly women and children, fleeing attacks in North Darfur

GENEVA - The international Red Cross said Tuesday that it had provided aid in recent days for nearly 7,800 people affected by recent fighting in Sudan's Darfur region.

"Most of these people fled their homes in search of security, taking with them only the most basic belongings," said Anne-Marie Altherr, an International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) official in the region.

"They have been sleeping in the open, with no shelter or bedding, in temperatures as low as 10 degrees Celsius at night. Most are women and children, many are less than five years old," she added in a statement.
