Nations seek Sudan ceasefire, pledge $1.4 billion aid

Nations are demanding an immediate ceasefire in Sudan's ongoing war, fearing the country's fragmentation. They also pledged over $1.4 billion in humanitarian aid. The international community, led by Britain and the EU, met in London to address the conflict, which began April 15, 2023, between rival military factions. The talks emphasized preventing Sudan's division and the need to protect civilians. The war has caused widespread displacement and hunger, with the UN calling it a global crisis. The aid aims to address the humanitarian needs of over 30 million people and support peace efforts.
