Medical charity MSF has been forced to suspend its activities in a famine-stricken camp in Sudan's North Darfur because of heavy fighting in the area, it said on Monday. The charity was one of the few still working in the besieged Zamzam camp which houses around half a million people displaced by Sudan's 22-month civil war.

The medical charity, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) said it has been forced to halt its activities in North Darfur State due to the escalation of attacks and fighting in and around Zamzam camp for displaced people near the North Darfur capital,
