Mafi Mushkala Sarah, Good to see your new posts and amazing photos. I shall feature this in a post at Sudan Watch and link it to some of your posts here. The photos we see in the press show a sea of tents, not this terrible large scene of makeshift shelters that wouldn't last two minutes in the wind. It's heartbreaking to see these people do not at least have the pre-fab shelters or tents we see in press photos. I wish we knew the best way to help asap. Thinking of you especially when I see news on Abu Shouk. Looking forward to your next posts. Kind regards. Sorry the link to Sudan Watch in your sidebar has broken.

The Blogosphere has picked up on your new blog about your experiences in the refugee camps of Darfur and Chad, Sarah. Keep up the good work(s) to help these people and keep us posted on what you see, hear, and feel.

Above all else, be careful over there and be sure to get home safe.

Ingrid, I think I fixed the link. It is amazing the level of shelters here. There are really all types. Many organizations responding are overwhelmed and there is a process that often delays greatly the distribution of NFIs (Non Food Items) that often makes this "temporary" shelter be a home for months. Many of the follks in that photo have been in Abu Shouk since November 2004. Thanks again for the comments.
