GENEVA (AP) - Escalating violence in the Sudanese region of Darfur is threatening aid for millions of people as increasing numbers of international staff come under attack, the U.N. humanitarian chief said Wednesday.
"My warning is the following: If it continues to escalate, if it continues to be so dangerous on humanitarian work, we may not be able to sustain our operation for 2.5 million people requiring lifesaving assistance," said Jan Egeland, head of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
"It could all end tomorrow. It's as serious as that," he told reporters at U.N. offices in Geneva.
