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 hunger, with over 25 million people facing acute food insecurity and 12 million displaced from their homes. It emphasizes the significant role of the United States as the largest donor of humanitarian aid to Sudan, having contributed over $500 million in 2024 alone, which has supported critical assistance efforts.
The resolution further details the challenges faced in delivering aid, including militia offensives that have destroyed farming communities and disrupted food markets. It stresses the urgency of increasing financial support for Sudan, given that the global funding appeal for the crisis is only 60% met and many aid efforts are hindered by various obstacles. The resolution concludes by stating that copies will be sent to the South Carolina Congressional Delegation and the President to advocate for continued assistance.
