Part 5/6:
The discussion surrounding the U.S. aid package inevitably leads to questions about its sufficiency and effectiveness in fostering a ceasefire. While the United States has positioned itself as the largest humanitarian donor to Sudan, Lewis stresses that the aid being funneled into the region merely postpones inevitable suffering rather than effecting meaningful change. There remains a pressing need for additional contributions from other nations to address the scale of the crisis adequately.
She noted that despite pledges for billions of dollars at the Paris humanitarian conference, the promised aid has yet to materialize. It underscores the critical need for cohesive international action that aligns in both urgency and scale with the unfolding humanitarian scenario.
