, “Annan alarmed at reports of widespread abuses of civilians in Darfur, Sudan,” published by the UN News Centre elaborates on the growing issue is Sudan. While the number of displaced families and entire villages increases, the number of aid remains the same.            The people pillaging through villages leave no trace of existence other than the ashes of dead bodies and the few remains of burned down huts. The UN estimates there to be (in December of 2003) nearly four million people from the western region of Sudan fleeing to the nearby country of Chad. Those who wish to help in aiding Sudan are “unable to visit them because of a lack of security in the area,” making the aid even more difficult to reach the displaced families. The first private airlift transported two Toyota Land Cruisers, warehouse equipment and four mobile storage tents, for the millions displaced and in danger.             This article goes in depth about the numbers of people displaced and where they are taken as well as informs the reader of the involvement (or lack there of) in Sudan by the United Nations, though the genocide raises red flags to humanitarian workers and the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan. This article is helpful because it proves the UN is indeed aware of the situation and while they might want to help, there isn’t much being done other than a few airlifts due to the dangers in Sudan.
