Insecurity threatens Chad relief work
GENEVA, Switzerland
Feb. 2 (UPI)
"The U.N. refugee agency warns insecurity in eastern Chad is making it impossible for humanitarian workers to come to the assistance of refugees.
Fighting between Chadian anti-government forces and the Chadian army in the town of Adre left about a dozen civilians dead and at least 40 wounded Thursday.
The heavy fighting forced all nearby aid agencies to remain at their bases. As a result, agencies did not have access to three refugee camps which together house about 62,000 Sudanese refugees from the neighboring Darfur region.
