US Pledges $424 Million in Humanitarian Aid to Sudan

The aid aims to address acute hunger and displacement amid escalating conflict between Sudanese army and paramilitary forces.

The United States has announced an additional $424 million in humanitarian aid for Sudan, bringing total U.S. funding since the conflict began to $2 billion.
The war, which erupted in April last year, has displaced over 11 million people and left more than 25 million facing acute hunger.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and other international leaders have expressed deep concern over the escalating violence and its devastating impact on civilians.
Calls for an immediate ceasefire and humanitarian pauses have been made by the United States, European Union, France, and Germany, urging warring parties to allow aid access.
The conflict has resulted in dire conditions, with reports of famine, disease, and widespread violence, leading to estimates of up to 150,000 deaths.
