We support Rep. Summer Lee's request for more humanitarian aid to Sudan.
Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pa.) is leading a call for President
Biden to increase U.S. humanitarian aid and diplomatic efforts in response to
Sudan's deepening crisis. The ongoing conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces
(SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has plunged the country into chaos,
with millions displaced and facing famine.
Lee and other lawmakers have urged the Biden administration to prioritize aid
delivery to the hardest-hit regions and to push for a diplomatic resolution to
the violence. Her efforts come as significant barriers, including restricted
access and active conflict, continue to hinder relief efforts.
Sudan's humanitarian crisis is worsened by recent government actions like
withdrawing from global hunger monitoring programs, leaving millions at risk
without a clear international response. Lee's advocacy highlights the urgency of
increasing aid and mobilizing international support to address Sudan's
devastating famine and violence.
