She is working for the United Nations children's agency, Unicef, in Nyala, southern Darfur and is writing a diary for BBC News Online about her experiences.

Huge improvements have been made to Darfur's IDP (Internally Displaced Person) camps over the last months - especially keeping in mind the constraints the humanitarian organisations face in term of access due to insecurity and rain.

But still only about half of the IDP population or less presently has access to services such as health clinics and schools.

Food rations are handed out once a month in the camps

When you enter a camp, it looks more or less like peaceful and normal village life.

The women and children fetch water, they cook, clean and look after their own or other children.

Even before entering the camp, you see people kilometres away in search of wood and grass.

If they are rich and lucky they have a donkey, if not they have to carry the loads themselves.

The women are in fact reluctant to leave the camp as harassment and sexual abuse still prevails, but they have no choice.

They need to earn money and build their shelters.

No privacy

Meanwhile the men sit, talk, drink tea and some of them have a small business to look after.

The living conditions in the camp are very different from what they are used to.

Q&A: Darfur conflict

The shelters the families live in - sometimes with up to nine people - are the size of an average closet.

Thousands and thousands of those shelters - some still without plastic sheeting - are packed together in a small space, which leaves absolutely no room for privacy.

In the camps they are separated from their cattle and deprived of land to cultivate their crops; this makes them dependent on the food rations provided by World Food Programme.

These rations are only handed out once a month and generally don't seem to be enough to feed an entire family.

Sometimes the IDPs sell part of their ration in order to buy other things they require.

Save money

A few days ago I met 20-year-old Halima who lives in Kass IDP camp.

After the attack on her village near Kailek she, her father and five younger siblings fled to Kass.

Some women in the camps make baskets to earn money

Halima is not going to school but tries to earn some money to support her family.

I find her sitting in front of her shelter making a grass basket for the family.

She has no intention of selling it, but many other women do.

Halima prefers to take other jobs to earn money such as doing laundry or going shopping in town.

She even helps with the construction of buildings by carrying the bricks and the sand used for the cement.

The small jobs allow her to save some money, which in this instance she used to buy four bundles of dried grass to make her basket.

Although this is her first attempt at making this kind of traditional craft, she is proud and pleased with the progress she is making.
