In this issue of ALERT, MSF looks at the conflict areas of Sudan. In Darfur, what began five years ago as a battle between Sudan’s government and two rebel groups has developed into a far more complex disaster. And in southern Sudan, in spite of the peace agreement, the population is facing an increasingly dire situation. Also in this issue: MSF responds to the earthquake in China's Sichuan province and to the cyclone that struck Myanmar's Irrawaddy delta.
