Of great concern. the genocide being perpetuated by the government of Sudan in that countrys Darfur region has forced approximately 2 million Darfurians to become internally displaced. In addition. more than 200.000 Sudanese have fled Darfur and are now living in camps in neighboring Chad. For the UNHCR mission in eastern Chad. where 300 UNHCR staff assist a total of 213.000 refugees in 12 camps. the U.S. has given $18 million in 2005. or half of all donors contributions. However. the UNHCR still lacks about $40 million to cover the 2005 needsbased budget. Across the border from the camps in eastern Chad. the situation in Darfur is more dire.
