In other news, the UN’s top humanitarian official is warning that relief efforts in Sudan’s Darfur region are facing a serious risk of collapse. The official, Jan Egeland, said aid workers will be unable to meet local needs unless foreign donors contribute more funding and the Sudanese government eases restrictions on aid workers. According to Egeland, the international community has provided just 20 percent of pledged donations. Egeland added that 200,000 people are currently not receiving the food aid they need to survive, while 650,000 people are now completely beyond the reach of aid workers.
