- Visiting Yad-Vashem
- Sudanese refugees visit the Yad Vashem Jewish holocaust museum in Jerusalem. Thousands of survivors of the genocide in Darfur and the on going civil war in south Sudan have fled to Israel, a country well familiar with atrocities of war. Although Israel was one of two states which pressed for a UN decision in 1950 that every country must accept refugees even if from its enemies, the local authorities have yet to supply a proper solution for the growing number of people seeking shelter.
