Humanitarian Aid Pledges for Sudan Fall Short

 Reuters published on 19 June 2023 an article titled "International Donors Pledge $1.5 Billion in Sudan Aid" by Gabrielle Tetrault-Farber, Emma Farge, and Khalid Abdelaziz.

International donors pledged at a fundraising conference in Geneva about $1.5 billion in aid to Sudan and the surrounding region, only half of what experts say is needed to respond to the humanitarian crisis.  The United States contributed more than half of the funding.
