Rising conflict in Sudan's North Darfur traps civilians, limits aid access: UN


UNITED NATIONS, Jan. 21 (Xinhua) -- Escalating conflict in Sudan's North Darfur state trapped civilians and restricted humanitarian access, UN humanitarians said Wednesday.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) expressed concern about the plight of thousands of civilians who are cut off from aid in North Darfur, as local partners reported that at least 2,000 families are trapped in the valleys of Wadi Qardi and Um Saad in the localities of Karnoi and Um Baru.
