Darfur in Flames, June 2004
Exhausted, desperate: A child waits with her mother in Disa, in the Northern Sudanese province of Darfour.
Displaced by recent conflicts her village has been burned down. It is estimated that there are 800.000 displaced people in Darfour who are trapped on the East, West and South by government troops and in the North by the desert wasteland, which will certainly claim the lives of weaker family members and of their livestock. UN consider the situation in Da r fur the worst humanitarian crisis in the world today. The Khartoum Government is responsible for systematic killings in the region. More than 200 ,000 people escaped across the bo r der to Chad.
The British photographer Marcus Bleasdale travelled to the Darfour-area in June 2004.
