INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY MUST HELP DARFUR BECOME SELF-SUFFICIENT -- UN OFFICIAL
New York, May 22 2013 5:00PM
The United Nations humanitarian chief today stressed the international
community must do more to ensure the people of Sudan's Darfur region
can better provide for themselves.

Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Valerie Amos, who is
currently on a four-day visit to Darfur, said she was disappointed
that after 10 years of humanitarian operations, the region is still
not self-reliant.

Darfur has been in a state of crisis for ten years, and the numbers of
people affected have grown steadily during that time. According to the
UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), there
are now 1.4 million people receiving humanitarian assistance in nearly
100 displacement camps across Darfur.

Ms. Amos said that stronger bridges need to be built between
humanitarian and development work. However, this has become
increasingly difficult as many non-governmental organizations are
facing a serious funding shortage and do not have the resources to
meet growing humanitarian needs.

Over the past six weeks, more than 10,000 internally displaced persons
(IDPs) have been registered in Kalma camp, just outside Nyala, the
capital of South Darfur. Kalma was already home to an estimated 82,000
people, many of whom had been living there for years.

"The humanitarian community needs to think about how it can strengthen
its capacity to meet the urgent needs of these people (in Kalma) and
the more than 1 million others like them throughout Darfur," said the
Head of Office in Sudan for OCHA, Mark Cutts. "Our focus should shift
where possible to building resilience among those affected by the
conflict."

Earlier today Ms. Amos met with internally displaced people at the Zam
Zam camp, and held talks with authorities and the head of the joint
African Union-United Nations Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) in El Fasher.
