The bill, H. 3994, is a resolution from the South Carolina House of Representatives that calls on the United States Congress and the President to continue providing humanitarian assistance to the people of Sudan. The resolution highlights the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Sudan, where decades of mismanagement have led to a collapsed healthcare infrastructure and widespread acute hunger, affecting over 25 million people. It notes that the U.S. has been a significant donor, contributing over $500 million in 2024 alone, which has supported food distribution and critical assistance through various organizations.
The resolution emphasizes the urgent need for continued financial support as the humanitarian crisis in Sudan worsens, with millions displaced and facing food insecurity. It also points out that despite the U.S. contributing more than $2 billion to Sudan's emergency response since the conflict began, the global funding appeal remains largely unmet. The resolution concludes by stating that copies will be sent to the South Carolina Congressional Delegation and the President to advocate for ongoing assistance to Sudan.
