The United Nations refugee agency on Thursday said an Arab militia attack on a camp in Sudan's Darfur region was feared to have killed at least 29 people and seriously injured 10.
The office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said in a statement it has received reports that a group of up to 300 armed Arab men on horses and camels launched an "unprecedented" attack Wednesday afternoon on the Aro Sharow camp, in Sudan's West Darfur province. The attackers reportedly burned 80 shelters. Up to 5,000 people were living in the camp, said the UNHCR.
