The United States has announced a pledge of approximately $47 million in new humanitarian assistance to support emergency response efforts in Sudan and its neighbouring countries, including Chad and South Sudan, according to a statement released by the U.S. State Department on Wednesday.

This commitment brings the total U.S. humanitarian assistance for individuals in Sudan and neighbouring nations to over $968 million since the fiscal year 2023, as confirmed by the State Department.
