WASHINGTON (AN) – In response to the world's largest humanitarian crisis in Sudan, a U.S. congressional panel has been seeking avenues to stop the brutal two-year civil war and prevent more civilian deaths.
The United Nations estimates as many as 150,000 people have been killed over two years in the war between paramilitary Rapid Support Forces and the Sudanese Army. The U.N. also reported that 24.6 million people, around half of Sudan’s population, have suffered from acute hunger.
