US Announces $535M Aid for Sudan and Syria

The United States announced nearly $535 million in additional humanitarian aid for Sudan and Syria, emphasizing the ongoing need for international support amid dire conditions. This aid includes significant contributions from both the Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration and the USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance. U.S. officials stressed the importance of global collective action to ensure aid reaches those in need and to push for political solutions in both countries.
