In Sudan, as conflict tears the country apart for the 4th consecutive month, a global aid official urged the international community, on Sunday, to provide more funds to help Sudanese people.

According to Red Cross Secretary-General, only 7% of the 45 million dollars appeal has been received.

“The call to our partners and donors is that the needs are real, people are suffering in the country, the situation is deteriorating, and they need urgent assistance. So, the global solidarity and generosity is absolutely needed. And as we saw during the Ukraine conflict, the world can come together in a massive way. All can come together to help millions of people, both inside and outside the country. And I think we need a similar type of solidarity for Sudan,” urges Jagan Chapagain, Secretary-General of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.

More than 3.4 million people were displaced internally and over one million crossed into neighbouring countries.
