Oxfam Incident, Gereida
Address:
Darfur
Category: Genocide
On June 17th, 2007 Oxfam announced that it was pulling out its resources and personnel from Gereida- the largest refuge camp in Darfur- as a result of the inability of the SLA to patrol the region and ensure security to Oxfam personnel. This was in response to the killing of members of NGO organizations, as well the hijacking and seizure of supplies belonging to the United Nations and other multinational organizations. Even though the AMIS (the African Mission in the Sudan) force was deployed to Darfur at this time, the international community felt that its personnel were still in clear and present danger in the Darfur Region.
