Darfur crisis - Generous public must keep giving

There has been an overwhelming response from the Irish public to provide aid for the humanitarian catastrophe which is being perpetrated on the people of Darfur in Western Sudan, and it is essential that the level of donations be maintained.

The disaster that is being inflicted on the people there because of internecine warring, has led to the United Nations describing it as the “world’s worst humanitarian crisis”.

In the past two months, the Irish public have reached into their more than generous pockets to subscribe an incredible €11 million to the various aid agencies which are trying to help the 1.5 million unfortunate people who have been displaced.
