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.
