Umran has Leukemia

This is Umran Osman. He is an 8 year old boy from a village in eastern Chad near Gaga Refuge Camp. His parents brought him to the camp hoping that the humanitarian agency there might be able to do something for him. He has been chronically ill and the doctor from IMC (International Medical Corp) believes he has leukemia. It just goes to show how needy people are in the region--that the locals would have to go to a refugee camp to get care. Now villagers in eastern Chad are being attacked and destroyed just as villages in Darfur were. Of the 300,000 refugees in eastern Chad, about 80,000 are Chadian.
