Darfur - overview The UN estimates that between 200,000-300,000 people have died in Darfur since the start of the current conflict in 2004. Some 4.7 million people are currently directly affected by the conflict, out of a total population of around 6.2 million. In 2008 alone, 310,000 people have been displaced, or newly displaced – bringing the current total of displacement to 2.7 million. Half of those affected by the conflict are children; of these, nearly 700,000 (the under-five population) have grown up knowing nothing but the conflict. Access to clean water in 2007 stood at 76 per cent (Darfur Food Security and Nutrition Assessment 2007), while 3 million conflict-affected people had access to basic health services (UNICEF reports). Under-five mortality rates have fallen over the last four years from 1.03 in 2004 to 0.67 in 2007 (Darfur Food Security and Nutrition Assessments 2004-2007). Primary school enrolment has increased from 516,000 in 2006 to more than 976,000 in 2008 (UNICEF and Ministry of Education data). Immunization campaigns continue to reach all targeted children, although often 'mop-up' efforts have to be made in areas inaccessible in initial attempts.
