*Ø* World 'must double food aid to Sudan'

"Thousands of Sudanese villagers who have fled militia attacks will die if the world does not double the amount of food sent to the region, the head of aid organisation Médecins Sans Frontières warned today.

"The UN security council has given Sudan a 30-day deadline for disarming the Arab Janjaweed militias largely blamed for the crisis, but Rowan Gillies, the international president of MSF, said refugees were so weakened by hunger that epidemics could sweep through their camps if food aid was not sent immediately."
