The Today Show's Ann Curry sadly reported yesterday that "conflict in the Darfur region of western Sudan . . . has intensified in recent weeks after a lull that followed a partial peace agreement signed in May."
In a blog post on NBC's The Daily Nightly, Curry wrote: "A new crisis is begging to be stopped."
"Attacks by Arab militia have spread to neighboring Chad, where Darfurians were seeking refuge" reports NBC. NBC created this Picture Story to show what's happening in Chad.
More than 3.4 million people have been affected by ethnic and political conflict in Darfur. UNICEF is providing desperately needed food, shelter and medicine for children and families living in overcrowded, makeshift refugee camps. To read more about UNICEF's work, click here.
