US Special Envoy to Sudan, Tom Perillo, called from the Sudanese camps in eastern Chad, on countries and individuals to donate to provide life-saving aid to Sudanese refugees in eastern Chad.
He expressed his appreciation for the humanitarian workers working to rescue Sudanese refugees and displaced persons, and said that they are working in very difficult conditions.
The US envoy called on both sides of the conflict to allow the entry of life-saving humanitarian aid across the border and on the firing lines “now.”
He said that the health conditions of those fleeing the conflict in Darfur to Chad are very bad, noting that there are signs of severe malnutrition among the new arrivals to the camps.
He stressed the need for hunger not to be used as a weapon in the ongoing conflict in Sudan.
