Iraq is just one conflict zone that has put relief workers at risk the past few years. The current conflict in Darfur is preventing aid and humanitarian NGOs to go to Darfur and provide aid because of the dangers it poses to the relief workers. In a recent article from BBC News, it stated that nearly half a million people in the Darfur region of Sudan have less access to aid because of the increase in violence. Because of this violence, there has been a temporary withdrawal of workers that serve a total of 488,000 people.  Those that withdrew humanitarian workers include Oxfam, the International Rescue Committee, Goal, Concern, World Vision and the Norwegian Refugee Council. They said that violence against humanitarian workers have increased throughout Darfur since the beginning of December. “If the deterioration is allowed to continue, the impact on civilians could be devastating,” says Paul Smith-Lomas, Regional Director for Oxfam. “With new displacements and attacks, the presence of aid agencies is more important than ever. Yet every day brings one huge blow after another to aid efforts,” he adds. Because of the violence and increased conflict in these areas, humanitarian NGOs cannot provide aid, shelter, or food to the people. The violence and terrorism that occurs affects the local populations not only because it puts their lives in danger and deteriorates their quality of life, but it also prevents them from receiving aid from humanitarian NGOs.

Iraq is just one conflict zone that has put relief workers at risk the past few years. The current conflict in Darfur is preventing aid and humanitarian NGOs to go to Darfur and provide aid because of the dangers it poses to the relief workers. In a recent article from BBC News, it stated that nearly half a million people in the Darfur region of Sudan have less access to aid because of the increase in violence. Because of this violence, there has been a temporary withdrawal of workers that serve a total of 488,000 people.  Those that withdrew humanitarian workers include Oxfam, the International Rescue Committee, Goal, Concern, World Vision and the Norwegian Refugee Council. They said that violence against humanitarian workers have increased throughout Darfur since the beginning of December. “If the deterioration is allowed to continue, the impact on civilians could be devastating,” says Paul Smith-Lomas, Regional Director for Oxfam. “With new displacements and attacks, the presence of aid agencies is more important than ever. Yet every day brings one huge blow after another to aid efforts,” he adds. Because of the violence and increased conflict in these areas, humanitarian NGOs cannot provide aid, shelter, or food to the people. The violence and terrorism that occurs affects the local populations not only because it puts their lives in danger and deteriorates their quality of life, but it also prevents them from receiving aid from humanitarian NGOs.
