Medical Teams International One Of First To Return To Darfur
For the first time in 18 months, the government of Sudan is allowing international relief workers back into Darfur.

The civil war that is now acknowledged as genocide has left an estimated 200,000 to 400,000 people dead and more than 2 million people displaced.

Many live in refugee camps with little or no food, water or medical care.

One of the first groups to go back in is Portland-based Medical Teams International, formerly Northwest Medical Teams.

Jon Bird of Missouri left Monday for western Darfur and will be there as part of the Medical Teams International program for the next several weeks. He talked with Oregon Considered host Allison Frost about how a person prepares to go to a place like Darfur.
