Tokyo - Saba
Japan announced today the provision of five million dollars to provide emergency humanitarian aid in Sudan through five international organizations.

The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that the aid aims to provide support in the areas of food, non-food items, health and medical care through five international organizations, noting that this step comes in response to the increasing deterioration of the humanitarian situation resulting from the conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces since last April in addition to the continued lack of improvement in the security situation.

The statement pointed out that two million dollars of this total amount will be disbursed through the United Nations World Food Program in order to provide food and logistical services, while 1.3 million dollars will be used for health and medical care and others through the International Committee of the Red Cross, while three other international organizations will use the rest of the amount.
