70,000 Die in Darfur Refugee Camps

This is appalling. Maybe if Iraq weren't draining all our money, we could be helping out more here.

At least 70,000 people have died since March as a result of poor conditions in refugee camps in Sudan's Darfur, the United Nations health agency said Friday. The World Health Organization warned that the death toll will climb unless other countries provide more aid.

The revised death toll cited by the UN does not include those killed in ongoing violence being carried out by Arab militias against Darfur's black residents and from rebellion by tribal groups.

This is genocide. Ethnic cleansing. Read the latest Human Rights Watch report and take action.
