The United States, through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), is providing an initial $103 million in additional humanitarian assistance to support Sudan and neighboring countries experiencing the impacts of the crisis. The new funding includes $8 million for the Central African Republic, as well as $17 million for Chad, $6 million for Egypt, $22 million for South Sudan, and $50 million for Sudan, to help meet increased humanitarian needs resulting from the ongoing crisis.
USAID Administrator Samantha Power announced the funding during her trip to Chad, where she is meeting with Sudanese refugees who have been forced to flee their homes due to recent fighting and U.S. government humanitarian partners responding to the impacts of the ongoing crisis. The $17 million in additional humanitarian assistance for Chad is supporting U.S. government partners responding to the needs of vulnerable Sudanese refugees, as well as existing refugees near the Chad-Sudan border.
