Darfur Crisis
Global aid organisations have launched urgent appeals for donations to help people fleeing from fighting between rebel groups and government militias in western Sudan.
Aid agencies believe one million people have been forced to flee thier homes.
Many are camped along the border with Chad, where food and water are in short supply and they are still vulnerable to attacks.
The area is remote, and aid agencies fear that rain will soon make roads impassable.
