U.N. to Increase Refugee Aid in Darfur

HeadlineApr 25, 2007

The head of the U.N. refugee agency says the U.N. will increase assistance to refugees in Darfur. Antonio Gunterres spoke Tuesday from a camp in West Darfur.

UNCHR head Antonio Gunterres: “It is our plan to increase our activities in Darfur both in camp management and in protection starting by West Darfur, and we intend to do that as we all know that the situation is very complex there, problems of security that we have witnessed. It is difficult to guarantee the protection of people in such circumstances, and at the same time the camps are a terrible way to live. There is a lot that needs to be done to improve the conditions here.”
