Angelina Jolie Urges Aid for Sudan Refugees

Angelina Jolie has recently highlighted the urgent humanitarian crisis in Sudan and its neighboring regions through her social media and a UN General Assembly address. Following her visit to refugee camps in Chad, she reported that Sudan is experiencing the world's largest displacement crisis, with over 10 million people displaced and an acute hunger crisis affecting 25.6 million. Jolie praised the efforts of local communities in Chad, who have been providing vital resources to nearly 1.4 million Sudanese refugees despite their own poverty. She called on the international community and the United Nations to scale up humanitarian aid and provide necessary funding and support to local organizations. Jolie emphasized the need for immediate international action to alleviate suffering and end the ongoing violence in Sudan, stressing that lives are at stake. Her advocacy serves as a critical reminder of the dire situation facing the region amid ongoing conflict since April 2023.
