Vignette: Camp for Darfur Refugees in Eastern Chad
The conflict in Sudan's Darfur region began in 2003 and has left 300,000 people dead, according to United Nations estimates. Some 250,000 refugees from the fighting have made their way across Sudan's western border into the neighboring country of Chad, where they are housed in 12 refugee camps. Freelance journalist David Axe traveled to eastern Chad earlier this summer, where he visited one of these camps. He spoke to aid workers and refugees about the day-to-day operations and long-term sustainability of the facility.
