Clean water is a scarcity in the Darfur refugee camps
|
A plane carrying supplies to Sudan is taking off from Manston Airport, Kent, on Wednesday, the government has said.
Water and sanitation equipment is being sent on two flights this week to the African country - the second on Friday.
The equipment will be used to provide drinking water and build over 1,000 latrines in Kalma camp, south Darfur.
More than 2m people are thought to need food assistance in Darfur where concerns of possible genocide have been raised by the United Nations.
The Department for International Development is providing the planes for Oxfam and the International Rescue Committee.
