KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) - Fighting and insecurity throughout Darfur is hindering food and relief aid to tens of thousands of people and forcing more displaced Sudanese into already crammed refugee camps, the United Nations said Wednesday.
A recent spike in violence, marked by increased banditry and attacks on African Union peacekeepers, has led to the closure of many roads, particularly around the West Darfur capital of Geneina where 170,000 people have had relief assistance temporarily restricted, U.N. spokesman George Somerwill told reporters.
"Some aid is not being delivered to those who need it, which is making people desperate and driving them into camps," Somerwill told The Associated Press.
