Sudan: ICRC brings aid to the most vulnerable in Darfur and Southern Sudan
In North Darfur, half a million head of livestock are to get vaccinations and people whose homes were destroyed have received household essentials. Elsewhere, the ICRC has financed the purchase of irrigation pumps and supported farmers displaced by clashes. Despite the abduction of ICRC worker Gauthier Lefèvre in West Darfur on 22 October, the ICRC remains determined to help those in Sudan who are most in need. See also ICRC staff member abducted in West Darfur, an interview with the ICRC's head of operations for East Africa.
