World paid little attention to Sudan’s war for a year. Now aid groups warn of mass death from hunger
Associated PressAPR 2024
Given the humanitarian disaster in Sudan, financial aid is essential, but not enough. An immediate cease-fire and a peaceful and negotiated political settlement are at least as important. Furthermore, it's necessary to exert pressure on the warring parties to ensure that they grant humanitarian organizations safe access to the delivery of humanitarian aid.
It's telling that no concrete commitments were made in Paris to alleviate the Sudanese nightmare. Famine is a reality in Sudan and the international indifference compared to Gaza and Ukraine is a disgrace. If humanitarian values are still valid, the international community must immediately provide the funding needed to prevent an even greater catastrophe.
