UNITED NATIONS: The United States announced more than $200 million in new aid Thursday for civilians affected by the war in Sudan, including refugees who have fled to neighboring countries.
Since April 2023, Sudan has been embroiled in a war between its regular army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
“The people of Sudan are facing the worst humanitarian crisis in the world,” US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield said.
“I’m proud to announce that the United States is providing an additional $203 million in humanitarian funding,” she reported, adding that the money is meant “to support people in Sudan, Chad, Egypt, and South Sudan affected by this brutal conflict.”
The funding comes in addition to nearly $500 million that Thomas-Greenfield said had been provided since the beginning of the year.
