Threats to Humanitarian Aid in Sudan

Sponsored by: US Fund for UNICEF

The Government of Sudan has revoked the licenses of 16 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that account for more than half of the humanitarian work in Darfur.

In Darfur, where approximately 2.7 million people (half of which are children) are displaced from their homes, NGOs play a pivotal role in providing lifesaving humanitarian aid such as food, shelter, clean water, vaccines, healthcare, education and more.

Currently, groups such as UNICEF and the remaining NGOs are working to fill in the immediate gaps, but if the licenses from these revoked agencies are not restored, it will have immediate and long lasting impacts on the well-being of millions of Sudanese citizens.

In the meantime, it's important to show support for UNICEF and their increased relief activities in Sudan. Sign the pledge!

I support the work of UNICEF in their efforts to provide clean water, health care, food, education and support to the victims of the brutal violence throughout various countries in Africa.

[Your comment will be inserted here].

For years, UNICEF has maintained a significant humanitarian operation in Africa, helping scores of children and families with lifesaving supplies and initiatives. Yet on March 4, the government of Sudan revoked the licenses of 16 humanitarian organizations, suspending their activities in the country.

Fortunately, UNICEF and its UN partners are able to continue operating in Sudan and are doing everything they can to fill crucial gaps, but the loss of these invaluable partners has undoubtedly stressed the system.

In recent months, UNICEF has increased the humanitarian relief activities in Sudan and is working around the clock to help ensure children do not suffer from the suspension of the 16 humanitarian organizations.

I support the work of UNICEF in their efforts to meet the immediate needs of people throughout Sudan including drilling new wells, building latrines and distributing a wide range of vital supplies such as vaccines, medicines and surgical equipment that work to save hundreds of thousand of lives.

The Declaration of Human Rights and the Earth Charter both spell out the right of all humans to food, shelter, education and peaceful living. Darfur's people and especially the children are not exception!!

Darfur´s crisis will be remembered as another shame in human history. Thanks to UNICEF for support the most vulnerable.

When we help people who need support, we first help for ourselves. Because our Planet is a single organism, and if in any part of the pain occurs, it can affect the entire body. Let take care that our Universe was completely healthy and everything living on it people were happy, all the more because we have such opportunities! None of child on our Earth is not worth the suffering, disease, poverty or hunger. Please, I have a huge request, let's help these children!

I support humanitarian aid to Sudan to aid victims of genocide and poverty. They have great needs for food, medical care, sanitation and education.

I feel very passionate about this cause. My father used to work in Darfur and witnessed the aftermath of the atrocities that occurred. It's really quite simple..people need our help. They have suffered long and deep. enough is enough.

Suffering at this level should not exist anymore on our beautiful planet. Cooperation between the more fortunate nations to assist the less fortunate ones to raise themselves to a minimal level of well being has to be the right choice.

A human in need in Cleveland is no more or less important than a human in need in Darfur, and in Sudan, they have guns on them on top of it. Keep the pressure up to find a peaceful ongoing method of dealing with the conflicts while administering food and aid to those caught in the middle.

Could it be that they are afraid of American witnesses now that we have a new leader who might actually care about doing something to stop them from further genocide?

It's important that people are not put in a life threatening position like what is happening in the Sudan. If we can help, then we should. But we also need help here in our own country and that should take precedence over other countries.
