The bill, H. 4291, is a resolution introduced in the South Carolina House of Representatives that aims to memorialize the President of the United States and Congress to restore financial aid and humanitarian support to the people of Sudan through Operation Breadbasket. The resolution highlights the severe impact of the cessation of U.S. humanitarian assistance, which has led to the closure of approximately eighty percent of emergency food kitchens established to aid those affected by Sudan's civil war. It notes that last year, USAID was responsible for a significant portion of Sudan's humanitarian response, and the executive order halting contributions has adversely affected over two million people in need.
The resolution calls for the restoration of financial aid and humanitarian commitments to alleviate the suffering of the Sudanese people. It concludes with a directive to send copies of the resolution to the President and members of the South Carolina Congressional Delegation, emphasizing the urgency and importance of addressing the humanitarian crisis in Sudan.
