At a Berlin conference, donors pledged more than €1.15 billion for Sudan, surpassing the organizers' €960 million target and helping close the chronic humanitarian funding gap. The assistance is intended to support the 34 million people—two‑thirds of the population—who require aid amid three years of conflict.

2. I met a woman in Nyala who told me she would rather die than see her child crying for food.
3. Here you can see the sorrow, here you can see the hunger.

1. Now as we reach the third year, the state of the war in Sudan has become a mirror that reflects back the world's inaction.
2. Since the war started, war crimes investigators like myself kept thinking when the El Geneina massacre occurred, when the El Fasher massacre occurred, that all that was required for concerted international action was just one more massacre.
