Actress Mia Farrow has made an appeal to everyone to help end the suffering in the Darfur region of Sudan.

The Omen star regularly visits the war-torn area and pleaded with the world's people to intervene and do what they can to end the slaughter of refugees.

Farrow wrote in a recent special feature for The Independent newspaper: "My first visit to Darfur was in 2004. It changed the way I needed to live my life. I have just returned from my seventh trip to the region.

"In October I will return to the region. Collectively and individually, we failed in our most essential responsibility to protect the innocent from slaughter and suffering.

"I hope that caring people of the world will band together and with one voice demand an end to the terrible crime of genocide."
