Bill > H4291

This resolution memorializes the President of the United States and Congress to restore humanitarian aid to Sudan through Operation Breadbasket, a crucial aid program. The resolution highlights that a previous executive order halting United States Agency for International Development (USAID) contributions has led to the closure of approximately 1,100 communal kitchens and impacted nearly two million people struggling to survive. According to the resolution, USAID previously contributed 44 percent of Sudan's 1.8-billion-dollar humanitarian response, and the freezing of this assistance has forced the closure of almost 80 percent of emergency food kitchens initially established to help people affected by Sudan's civil war. The resolution calls on the federal government to renew its financial aid and humanitarian commitment to Sudan, emphasizing the moral imperative to provide hope and alleviate suffering. Additionally, the resolution directs that copies be sent to the President of the United States and members of the South Carolina Congressional Delegation to ensure the message is formally communicated.
