If the situation in Sudan’s Darfur region continues to deteriorate at the present rate, then over half the population in the region could be displaced within the next 18 months, stated John Holmes, the Under-Secretary-General for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA)

In collaboration with Google Earth, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has brought together compelling visual evidence of the destruction in Darfur.
