Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The United States Ambassador to South Sudan has announced 288 million dollars in new funding to support humanitarian assistance in South Sudan.<\/p>\n

Ambassador Michael Adler said Wednesday that USAID is donating $.288m to the World Food Programme to provide food and nutrition assistance to 2.2 million needy South Sudanese.<\/p>\n

He made the pledge in Northern Bahr el Ghazal State during an occasion to celebrate the life of American aid-worker and former envoy Roger Winter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe US Agency for International Development will provide this funding to the UN world food program to deliver food and nutrition assistance to nearly 2.2 million people,\u201d Adler said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am immensely proud of the work USAID does on behalf of the American people…. here in South Sudan, and I am also deeply proud of our strong partnership with WFP who have done so much for so many in the world\u2019s most challenging environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

USAID remains South Sudan\u2019s single largest donor since its creation in 2011.<\/p>\n

Ambassador Adler also paid tribute to late American humanitarian worker Roger Winter, who was buried in Maryland in the United States of America on Saturday last week.<\/p>\n

Roger, regarded as a friend of South Sudanese for his bold advocate for the country\u2019s independence, died in the US on January 25, 2023, at the age of 79 years.<\/p>\n

Former SPLM Secretary-General, Pagan Amum Okiech, described Roger as a steadfast supporter of the cause of the people of South Sudan.<\/p>\n
