Refugees have insufficient food, shelter, clean water and medical attention.
In Darfur, there are roughly two million people who have been outside the reach of humanitarian aid for years.
As the violence in the region has worsened over the past few months, humanitarian groups have been forced to scale back their operations, leaving a greater number of Darfurians without assistance.
In today's report, Mia talks to refugees about how they survive life in the camp.
