UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United States will give an extra $203 million to help millions of civilians affected by the war in Sudan, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield said on Thursday, calling on other nations to step up their aid.
The funds, announced in a statement to Reuters on Thursday, aim to help civilians in Sudan and those who have fled to neighboring countries since war erupted in April 2023 between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
