CAR: UNHCR plans aid for newly arrived Sudanese refugees

The UN refugee agency is planning the delivery of emergency aid to thousands of Sudanese refugees who have crossed into the Central African Republic (CAR) to escape ground and air attacks on their homes in the Darfur region. At least 1,500 Sudanese have arrived in the past two weeks in Sam Ouandja, but more are turning up every day and UNHCR is taking this into consideration. The remote town in north-east CAR's Haute-Kotto district lies about 80 kilometres from the border with Darfur.
