Can the G8 help Darfur?

Watch the report

While the world's wealthiest countries talk, the world's most desperate people suffer in Darfur.

The conflict in Darfur should be high on the G8 summit agenda. More than 200,000 people have been killed and two million displaced in the troubled Sudanese region - and clashes there continue.

Voters are demanding that their leaders take some kind of action. So Tony Blair today repeated his insistence that the plight of Darfur would be discussed - he said pressure must be put on the Sudanese government to accept the full terms of a peacekeeping proposal.

But will this be any comfort to the terrified thousands in the Darfuri refugee camps ?

Our reporter Nima Elbagir has spent the last few days in those refugee camps. As she reports, the abuses committed in this conflict are far from one-sided.
