UNICEF: Mia Farrow visits Chad
UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Mia Farrow is visiting the area to witness the horror firsthand. Everywhere she goes the signs of the December attack remain vivid. Roofless huts and smashed pottery lay on the ground, while the storage vessels were left in ruins and the sorghum inside burnt Ms. Farrow is travelling through eastern Chad to highlight the growing humanitarian disaster of displacement, poverty and conflict. Since 2003, refugees have streamed into the region escaping attacks by armed militia in Darfur, Sudan. At last count, there are 235,000 refugees here scattered along Chad's eastern border with Sudan. Rising ethnic tension and internal conflict have displaced an additional 100,000 Chadians, who have also sought refuge in crowded camps.
