Humanitarian Assistance for the Sudanese People

The people of Sudan need our help. In mid-April, violence erupted between the Sudanese army and a paramilitary group called the Rapid Support Forces. Despite brokering multiple ceasefires, conflict between these groups has continued, centered primarily around the capital of Khartoum and in the western region of Darfur. Civilians are increasingly affected throughout the country; news outlets are reporting that electricity is spotty and food and water are in short supply.

As of mid-May, over 200,000 people have already fled Sudan to surrounding countries (such as South Sudan, Chad, Ethiopia, and Egypt). An additional 700,000 people are internally displaced within Sudan. This humanitarian crisis is expected to grow—U.N. agencies are estimating that five million additional people will need aid as a result of this conflict.
