Foreign Secretary Jack Straw meets refugees in a feeding centre at the Abu Shouk camp near El Fasher in the Darfur region of northern Sudan. The camp - described by one British official as the "Hilton" of the Darfur camps - is home to around 57,000 people forced to flee their villages following a campaign of violence by the Arab militias known as the Janjaweed. Mr Straw warned the Sudanese government that it must do more to protect refugees fleeing the violence in Darfur after seeing for himself the conditions in which they are living.
