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 freezing of U.S. humanitarian assistance, which has led to the closure of nearly eighty percent of emergency food kitchens established to aid those affected by Sudan's civil war. It notes that last year, USAID contributed significantly to Sudan's humanitarian response, and the cessation of support 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 emphasizes the moral obligation of the United States to provide hope and assistance to those struggling to survive in Sudan. Additionally, the resolution mandates that copies be sent to the President and members of the South Carolina Congressional Delegation to ensure that the message is communicated effectively.
