Darfur Needs Our Help

If you want information on the never ending struggle of the people of Darfur, please view this post on Texas RV Travel blog.

The latest is that the United Nations World Food Program announced that it will cut half its food supplies to the people of Darfur because of a lack of funds and relentless attacks on its convoys. Millions in Darfur depend on this food supply. Without it, they will be pushed even closer to starvation. Inaction is not an option when so many lives are at stake.

Congress is preparing to vote on a bill that will include significant funding for peacekeeping and humanitarian aid in Darfur. Your representative needs to hear from you that the men, women, and children of Darfur cannot afford anymore delays.

Funding for Darfur can bring hope to the thousands who have weathered half a decade of genocide.

Please take action to help these people survive.

Thanks for posting.

Does Darfur and Zimbabwe have to become as bad as Rwanda before the US, UK and UN intervenes? Disgusting world we live in where super powers only intervene when they can get something in return like the oil leases of Iraq.

Everything's about profit these days. Convoy losses mean more expenses and less money for the funders. Even human lives pale in comparison to money.

@jackie-You are so right. Why are in Iraq, when there is so much injustice and oppression in the world?

@jorge-Feel free to add the article, as long as you include a link back to the original article.

@kim-Thanks for your kind words.

Thanks for creating the awareness. Ironically, one end of the world is dying from starvation and the other end is having overweight children.
