Help for Sudan – level 3
23-06-2023 15:00
The conflict in Sudan, involving the army and paramilitary forces, has caused a humanitarian crisis with 2.2 million people displaced from their homes.
The capital Khartoum has turned into a war zone, and the western region of Darfur has experienced attacks and mass displacement. A 72-hour ceasefire has temporarily halted the fighting in Khartoum, but looting has increased. Desperate residents in El Geneina, the hardest-hit city in Darfur, are attempting to flee but face violence and detention. A fundraising conference in Geneva resulted in pledges of close to 1.5 billion dollars in aid; however, it remains unclear when and if the funds will be disbursed.
The situation has been described as urgent, with ethnic violence and reports of gender-based and sexual violence causing deep concern.
Difficult words: paramilitary (an unofficial force organized similarly to a military force), ceasefire (temporary halt in fighting), loot (to steal goods, typically during a war or riot), disburse (to pay out money from a fund).

What measures have been taken to ensure those displaced by the conflict in Sudan receive the aid that has been pledged?
