Nairobi - International medical charity, Medecins sans Frontieres (MSF - Doctors without Borders) warned on Thursday of worsening conditions for displaced people in western Sudan's war-ravaged Darfur region.

"Nearly 17 000 people have recently gathered in Krenik and Sisi, north-west of Mornay in Sudan's Darfur region, where they have no access to drinking water and there is no enough food or medical assistance for them to survive," the statement released in Nairobi on Thursday said.

Explaining that MSF is ready to send humanitarian teams to the area, the aid group warned that "without urgent medical, food and sanitation assistance, these people's lives are threatened."

[I AM SPARTACUS]

1. her name, Mother of Exiles...

“The New Colossus”
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles.
From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome;
her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
""Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!"" cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”



...how far we have come...
