US announces $200 mn additional aid for Sudan

"The United States has worked intensively with partners to provide relief to Sudan... today we are announcing another roughly $200 million," he said at a UN Security Council meeting on Sudan. The World Food Programme warned Thursday that Sudan risks becoming the world's largest hunger crisis in recent history, with 1.7 million people across the country either facing famine or at risk of famine. Sudan has been ravaged by 20 months of fighting between the regular army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
