Resistbot Petition: There are 700K children at risk of starvation in Sudan. Please act!

An open letter to the U.S. Congress

There are 700K children at risk of starvation in Sudan. Please act!

259 so far! Help us get to 500 signers!

The civil war in Sudan is now, according to UNICEF, “the world’s largest child displacement crisis.” Around 3 million children have been displaced in the country since the outbreak of the war about 300 days ago. UNICEF tells us, further, that an estimated 3.5 million children (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/sudan-civil-war-children-unicef-rsf-rcna130738) in the country will suffer from acute malnutrition this year. For about 700,000, it could be life-threatening. They also say “we have an extremely short window to prevent a massive loss of life.” What is the United States doing to help? I know the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs just made an appeal this week for $2.7 billion to provide urgent aid to Sudan. UNICEF is asking for $840 million in 2024. We must provide some of these funds. This is a massive crisis and, as Financial Times put it, a “textbook case of ethnic cleansing.” We can’t stand by and do nothing. Please approve funding to bring immediate r elief to the hundreds of thousands of children at risk of death in Sudan. Thank you.
