khartoum - Fighting between Sudanese government forces and rebels driven into the mountainous region of Jebel Marra in Darfur have since mid-January more than 100,000 people to flee. The fighting persist and the aid is difficult because the areas where displaced persons are received are very remote. That the UN Organisation for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported Thursday.

Most displaced people have fled to North Darfur. According to some reports are tens of thousands of people fled to Central Darfur, but for lack of access, the UN can not verify.

Rebels in Darfur took up arms against the government in 2003. The ICC President Omar al-Bashir indicted for war crimes. Because of the conflict, according to the UN 300 000 people have been killed and 2.5 million displaced.
