|
With the help of many generous supporters, AmeriCares has just delivered our 10th emergency shipment to Darfur since 2004. The delivery contains more than 15 tons of critical medicines and medical supplies to West Darfur and brings the total aid delivered to Darfur since 2004 to more than 167 tons, valued at nearly $5 million. Our staff is working hard to secure additional aid for North and South Darfur, and two more shipments are planned in the coming months.
