UNICEF Pledges $150Mln in Aid for Sudan's Educational Institutions, Sudanese Minister Says
KHARTOUM (Sputnik) - The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has pledged to provide Sudan with $150 million to help educational institutions that have suffered from the fighting between the Sudanese armed forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), acting Sudanese Education Minister Al-Huri told Sputnik on Monday.
Sudanese Education Minister Mahmoud Al-Huri said that UNICEF
has pledged to support the plan to resume the educational process
in Sudan in accordance with its priority needs, which are estimated at about $150 million.
About 40% of the educational institutions in Khartoum were destroyed in the course of the battles, Al-Huri said, adding that the Sudanese Education Ministry has developed a plan that will allow students from clash-affected areas to continue their studies in other regions when the school year begins in October.
"So far, no assistance has arrived specifically for the education sector in Sudan, as most aid is earmarked for other sectors, mainly health," the minister noted.
The League of Arab States (LAS) has also promised to provide assistance to Sudanese educational institutions, he added.
The
rival militaries RSF have been fighting for
control of the North African country since mid-April, with over 3.7 million people internally displaced and more than 800,000 Sudanese refugees seeking safety and protection across the border, according to UN figures. According to the Sudanese Health Ministry, the death toll from the clashes has risen to 600. At the end of July, opponents broke off talks that had been underway in Jeddah since May.
