WASHINGTON, July 26 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Red Cross is deploying a disaster relief worker to Sudan to assist the flood relief efforts. According to the Sudanese government, more than 35,000 families have been affected by the floods. However, the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (International Federation) warns that if the rains continue as expected, Sudan could experience the worst floods in living memory with some 2.4 million people affected across 10 of Sudan's 26 states along the Nile River and in eastern Sudan.

Amnesty International accuses Sudan of violating the arms embargo imposed by the Security Council. The NGO bases its claims on photographs of officials transferring containers from a Russian Antonov 12 fighter plane onto military vehicles and Sudanese helicopters at El Geneina airport in Darfur. Additionally, locals revealed that these helicopters provide arms for government troops and Janjaweed militias in Darfur. Amnesty calls on the Security Council to enforce the embargo, for example by stationing UN observers at all points of entry.

The Janjaweed militias that have terrorized the people of Darfur have the support, direct and indirect, of the government of Sudan. Helicopter gunships continue to strafe villages, using nail-like flachettes unsuitable for anything other than killing. And, as a report by the UN Commission of Inquiry on Darfur concluded in February, "the magnitude and large-scale nature of some crimes against humanity, as well as their consistency over a long period of time, necessarily imply that these crimes result from a central planning operation."
