MPs rap UN over Darfur death toll

The death toll from Sudan's Darfur crisis has been grossly underestimated, British MPs have said. A House of Commons committee said the number of dead could reach 300,000 - more than four times the World Health Organization's figure of 70,000. The International Development Committee also said the world's response had been "scandalously ineffective". Sudan's government and Arab militias are accused of war crimes against the region's black African population. The US says the crisis which erupted in 2003 amounts to genocide. More than two million people are estimated to have fled their homes during the crisis.
