http://www.swissinfo.org/sen/swissinfo.html?siteSect=143&sid=5669584&cKey=1112998830000KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Food rations will be cut for more than one million Darfur is who have fled fighting to makeshift camps in the region because of a drastic shortage of funds, the World Food Programme said on Friday.
More than 2 million Darfuris have fled their homes during 26 months of open revolt in the remote west of Sudan and are dependent on food aid in camps.
Tens of thousands have been killed in the fighting, which the United States calls genocide -- a term Khartoum rejects.
"We have done everything to avoid this including borrowing supplies. We are simply left with no alternative," said Carlos Veloso, WFP's Emergency Coordinator for Darfur.
