The International Organization for Migration (IOM) warned that emergency humanitarian aid for Sudan could run out within 15 days, potentially by the end of September, if there is no "immediate donor support". The United Nations agency issued this warning today, underscoring the urgency of funding to maintain humanitarian operations in the country.
Amy Pope, Director General of IOM, stated in a press release that "we simply cannot turn our backs on the people of Sudan when they need us most". The official noted that the current moment is particularly critical due to the escalation of conflicts, the growth in population displacements, and the impact of heavy rains that have been affecting the country.
The IOM warning comes in a context of deteriorating humanitarian situation in Sudan, where millions of people depend on international assistance to survive. The organization warned that the entire humanitarian system may be at risk of collapse if funding is not secured quickly.
