The United States announced a new humanitarian fund for Sudan on Wednesday, securing $1.5 billion in pledges to address the deepening crisis.
The State Department said Washington hosted a joint donor event with allies at the Donald Trump Institute of Peace earlier this week.
More than 20 countries participated, aiming to strengthen humanitarian funding as war continues to devastate communities across Sudan.
The United States pledged $200 million, alongside contributions from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Egypt, Chad, Britain and Norway.
Officials said the initiative seeks to ensure aid reaches those most in need while promoting fair burden-sharing among international donors.
Washington also confirmed a follow-up meeting scheduled for April 15 in Berlin to mobilise additional humanitarian support.
The event drew senior figures including Massad Boulos, a top White House adviser, and UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher.
Fletcher said the international community hopes to achieve tangible progress by the start of Ramadan, turning pledges into lifesaving assistance.
Boulos noted the United States has proposed a humanitarian ceasefire, which could be achieved within weeks if parties agree.
The United Nations estimates Sudan’s war has displaced over 14 million people, with famine declared in several regions nationwide.
