UNITED NATIONS—The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations announced nearly $203 million in additional humanitarian assistance to Sudan on Thursday but warned that the money is not a “panacea” and urged other countries to fulfill their financial pledges to address what she called “the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.”

World leaders pledged more than $2.1 billion in humanitarian aid for Sudan at a donors conference in Paris in April, but U.S. envoy Linda Thomas-Greenfield said only about a quarter of the promised funds have been received three months later.
