GENEVA (AN) — The United Nations asked for US$2.56 billion in humanitarian aid for 18 million people in Sudan whose lives have been overturned by rival generals fighting for control of the nation.
The fighting that broke out last month caused the ranks of those who need humanitarian aid and protection to swell to 24.6 million, or slightly more than half of Sudan's 49 million, according to a new 12-page funding appeal on Wednesday from the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, or OCHA.
