The living can barely make room for their dead in Darfur

THE displaced of Darfur are hard pressed to find space for their dead or enough water for Muslims’ ritual washing of the body.

Three or four people die every day in Camp Hessa Hissa, most of malaria or waterborne diseases such as typhoid, said Jason Azevedo, an International Rescue Committee worker.

Graves are scattered among the stick-and-plastic tents of the living in a camp that houses an estimated 23,000 people who have fled their homes because of violence many blame on their government.
