A civil war that’s killed thousands, and displaced hundreds of thousands in Africa has prompted a Tri-Counties based international aid group to see what it can do to help.
Sudan has been torn by violence for months, with two rival generals fighting for control of the country.
Hundreds of thousands of Sudanese have fled to neighboring Chad, which doesn’t have the resources to help deal with the displaced people.
