More Angelina and Brad Attend ‘Darfur Now’ Premier
Here are more photos of our favorite couple at last night’s the Darfur Now premier. I know we love looking at Angelina and Brad but I want to give you a quick reminder as to what they are are bring attention to.
*Since the 1983 start of the civil war, more than 4 million people have been displaced, and an estimated 2 million have died. Opposition groups as well as the government have been accused of atrocities in the conflict.
*Since 2003, violence in Darfur — called ethnic cleansing by some and genocide by others — has left an estimated 50,000 to 80,000 dead and an estimated 1.2 million to 2 million people displaced. Survivors face severe shortages of food and clean water.
*An estimated 200,000 Sudanese have escaped to Chad, where they are living in refugee camps. Many are in desolate areas near the city of Abeche, where temperatures frequently exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
*An estimated 2.3 million civilians in Darfur are in need of emergency aid, but bottlenecks created by both the government and the rebel forces cut them off from food and medical supplies.
*In 2001, Sudan was declared to be free of polio, but the disease is making a comeback in the wake of war. Health experts say the probability is high that more than 10,000 Sudanese have been infected with the virus.
The United State Holocaust Museum has lots of important information on how you can help.
