Darfur - Women Far from Home

by Emily Holland, International Rescue Committee, Sudan-Today, I arrived in Nyala, Darfur to document the International Rescue Committee's programs here, in particular those aiding displaced women.

The IRC has operated a health clinic in Otash since August 2004, which provides critical services to internally displaced people, plus special care for women.
