Oxfam is to permanently withdraw from Sudan's largest refugee camp.
The decision is because staff at Gereida in Darfur remain unsafe, the British aid agency announced on Saturday.
In attacks on three aid bases in the camp in December, an aid worker was raped, an Oxfam staff member beaten and others subjected to mock executions.
Since then, most operations have remained suspended in the area controlled by the former rebel faction of Minni Minnawi - the only leader to sign a May 2006 peace deal with the government.
