A new report by UNICEF details the impact of conflict on children’s lives in Darfur, almost three years after the violence began. The key findings of the report are: the economy of Darfur is in steep decline, creating and reinforcing a reliance on humanitarian aid; as a result, conditions are worsening for children who live in areas outside the camps, in communities hitherto not directly affected by the fighting; low-level violence continues unabated almost daily, creating a climate of fear and further crippling core economic activities; Darfur has become “ghettoed,” with groups from all tribes afraid to move beyond their immediate environments.
