US EditionCanada pledges $120M in Sudan aid as brutal civil war enters fourth year
The package includes more than $94 million in humanitarian aid and $25 million for development, including support for 60,000 children.
- On Wednesday, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand announced Canada is providing more than $120 million in humanitarian and development aid for Sudan, marking the third anniversary of the civil war devastating the country.
- The conflict has killed more than 40,000 people and forced nearly 12 million to flee their homes, leaving two-thirds of the population in urgent need as global leaders gather in Berlin for the International Sudan Conference.
- This funding includes more than $94 million for humanitarian aid such as emergency food and nutrition, plus $25 million for development, including $7 million for sexual violence prevention in Darfur and Kordofan and education for more than 60,000 children via Save the Children Canada.
- Randeep Sarai, Secretary of State for International Development, stated the crisis has reached "catastrophic levels," while Anand urged that humanitarian assistance must reach those in need "safely, rapidly and without obstruction."
- Sudan's humanitarian emergency has "grown in scale and severity" over three years, though Global Affairs Canada notes the crisis often struggles for donor attention, having been overshadowed by conflicts in Ukraine, Gaza, and Iran.
