People displaced by floods set up a makeshift camp on an abandoned railway line in Aweil in this picture released by the United Nations Mission in Sudan (UNMIS) on August 15, 2008. Extremely heavy early rains inundated the areas around Aweil with floodwaters, displacing thousands of residents. UN agencies and NGOs working with their government partners are working to provide the needed assistance to those displaced. REUTERS/Tim McKulka/UNMIS/Handout (SUDAN). FOR EDITORIAL USE ONLY.
