Global Donors Rally with $2.1B Aid Pledge for War-Torn Sudan Amid Famine Fears
April 15, 2024
World donors pledged over $2.1 billion in humanitarian aid for Sudan at a Paris summit to address the crisis following a yearlong war.
The aid will be used for critical needs such as food, water, medicines, with the UN's humanitarian campaign for Sudan requiring $2.7 billion to help 24 million people.
The European Union has made a significant contribution of 900 million euros to the humanitarian efforts in Sudan.
The conflict in Sudan has resulted in over 14,000 deaths, 33,000 injuries, and has displaced nearly 9 million people, leading to widespread infrastructure damage and a surge in hunger and sexual violence.
International actors, including France and the EU, are calling for an immediate end to attacks on civilians and for open access to aid distribution in the country.
The situation in Sudan, exacerbated by a breakdown in food production and distribution, risks mass death from famine if not addressed urgently through peace efforts and continued aid.
