Bill > H3994

This resolution memorializes the United States Congress and President to continue providing humanitarian assistance to Sudan, highlighting the country's dire humanitarian crisis. The resolution underscores that Sudan is experiencing catastrophic economic and humanitarian conditions, with over 25 million people facing acute hunger and approximately 12 million displaced, making it the world's worst humanitarian crisis in 2024. The United States has been the largest donor of humanitarian aid, providing over $500 million through USAID and the State Department, which has included food commodities, support for UN and non-governmental partners, and critical assistance for refugees. Since the conflict escalated in April 2023, the U.S. has contributed more than $2 billion to Sudan's emergency response, though the global funding appeal remains only 60% met. The resolution emphasizes the urgent need for continued financial assistance due to factors such as militia offensives destroying farming communities, disrupting food markets, and creating significant challenges for humanitarian aid delivery. The resolution calls on the U.S. Congress and President to maintain and potentially increase humanitarian support for Sudan's population.
