Hey amigos! 🌟 Let's talk about something important happening in Sudan 🇸🇩. The government just announced that nearly 29 million people need humanitarian aid due to the ongoing civil war. That's a huge number—almost like the entire population of Venezuela needing help!
Since last April, when the conflict erupted, the number of people needing assistance jumped by 13 million. Salwa Adam Benya, Sudan's humanitarian aid commissioner, shared these alarming stats during a humanitarian response conference in Port Sudan.
Out of these, 16.9 million people urgently need life-saving aid within the next two months. We're talking essentials like food, water, and shelter.
Ibrahim Jabir from Sudan's Transitional Sovereign Council is calling on the international community to step up and deliver on their promises to support the Sudanese people. The government is committed to making sure aid reaches those who need it most, even opening seven border crossings to help out, including reopening the Adre crossing with Chad.
Sudan has been caught in a devastating conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and paramilitary forces since mid-April 2023. The situation is tough, but spreading awareness can make a difference!
Let's keep the people of Sudan in our thoughts and share their story. Together, we can inspire change! 💪❤️
