| An international aid agency accused Sudan on Friday of closing camps for internally displaced people in the troubled Darfur region and planning to move them to a new camp it said was unsafe. Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF, Doctors Without Borders) said the authorities had closed the camps in the southern Darfur capital of Nyala on Thursday after trying, without success, to forcibly move thousands of the residents by truck to new camps 20 km (12 miles) from the city. "Among those who fled were families with severely malnourished children who had been under the care of MSF and did not arrive for their treatment," it said. Some 10,000 people had been living in the closed camps, MSF said, and the new camps were in an insecure area where access by humanitarian agencies was difficult. It said the bid to move the displaced people to the new sites was cut short when some of them fled in panic. There was no immediate response from Khartoum. |
