GENOCIDE IN SUDAN

WER sends 87,000 pounds of medial supplies and food

      Senior UN officials call Sudan one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world.  The ongoing conflict in the Darfur region has displaced over 1.3 million people.  Reports of genocide, rape, torture and concentration camps where many are facing starvation and disease finally began reaching the west in May.  Many of the displaced talk of massacres, burning of villages, and loved ones who have been kidnapped and their fate is still unknown. 

   Political leaders of Sudan have been criticized by both world leaders and humanitarian workers for lying  and down playing the atrocities.  The Sudanese government is allied with the Arab militia carrying out the horrors against their own nationals.

      Emergency aid is being flown into the Darfur area but is not yet enough for all of the suffering.  To make matters worse,

many displaced farmers will not be able to produce food for the coming harvest, meaning impending famine is a reality.  WER has already sent 87,000 pounds of crucial food and medical aid to help eliminate suffering in this desperate part of the world.  With your help, WER can continue to give these refugees, including thousands of children, a living chance.  (Click here for more information on Sudan).
