A woman and her family in a makeshift shelter in the camp for internally displaced persons (IDPs) at Gereida in Darfur, Sudan. Nearly two million people have been forced to leave their homes as a result of the fighting in Sudan's western province. They survive in camps for the internally displaced or in refugee camps across the border in Chad. Women displaced by the conflict face daily problems of providing for their families: gathering firewood, finding food, and fetching water that may have to be carried over long distances. To support these displaced women, the ICRC tries to meet their daily health, food and water needs, such as building or improving water supply points close to where they live.
