联合国:马里局势动荡，13万人逃离

The United Nations says fighting in northern Mali between government forces and Tuareg rebels has forced about 130,000 people to flee their homes.

The U.N. refugee agency says people are seeking refuge inside the country and in neighboring countries, like Niger, Mauritania and Burkina Faso. An estimated 60,000 Malians are internally displaced and the largest number to flee the country -- about 30,000 -- are in Niger.

Refugee Oualid Djibril fled with his family to the village of Gaoudel in Niger. He says they have lost everything.

The U.N. refugee agency on Friday appealed for more than $35 million in emergency funds to deal a rapidly worsening humanitarian crisis.

Clashes between the Malian army and Tuareg rebels began in mid-January, ending a 2009 peace deal that stopped a previous Tuareg rebellion.
