Save the Children withdrawal from Darfur
date published: 21/12/2004
It is with deep regret that Save the Children UK announces that we are unable to continue our humanitarian operations in Darfur due to the tragic deaths of four staff members in two separate incidents over the past two months, as well as a series of extremely serious additional security incidents.
We are devastated that we are unable to continue to offer health care, nutritional support, child protection and education to the approximately 250,000 children and family members served by our current programmes in North and South Darfur. However, we just cannot continue to expose our staff to the unacceptable risks they face as they go about their humanitarian duties in Darfur.
Save the Children UK remains deeply committed to the people of Darfur, with whom it has been working for the last 20 years. We hope to one day resume operations in Darfur, with a view to helping people rebuild their lives and communities, once the security situation has stabilised.
We plan to continue to work in other areas of Sudan.
Mike Aaronson,
Director-General of Save the Children UK
