Sudan: The world's biggest humanitarian crisis

In Sudan, the government is waging a bloody civil war against rebels. An estimated 12 million people have fled their homes, either to destinations within the country or to neighboring states. Many of them are seeking help in Chad.

It is arguably the world's biggest humanitarian crisis - yet the civil war in Sudan has received little attention from the international community.

The Sudanese civil war continues to escalate: Some 26 million people are starving. People here are dependent on humanitarian aid. But Europeans have cut aid payments, and, following the dismantling of the American aid program USAID, emergency aid workers in Sudan find themselves slowly running out of funds.

Working for the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), Sani Akilou is responsible for both the water supply and hygiene in the refugee camps in Chad. But he lacks money for even the most basic things.
