The Embassy of Canada in South Sudan has allocated an additional $1 million Canadian Dollars in humanitarian assistance funding to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to support the ongoing response to the influx of 40,000 new arrivals in the border area of Renk in Upper Nile State.
“The Embassy of Canada in South Sudan is pleased to announce the following additional support to respond to the emergency humanitarian situation in South Sudan caused by the worsening of the conflict in Sudan,” said the Embassy in statement on Friday.
It said that this funding will help provide immediate life-saving assistance including the installation of tents and WASH facilities and provision of emergency medical services to the affected population.
“This allocation is part of more than $103.7 million in humanitarian assistance funding that Canada has dedicated in 2024 to respond to needs in Sudan and neighbouring countries affected by the ongoing crisis, including South Sudan,” it said.
