                  US to Send Another $300 Million to S. Sudan

   by VOA News

   The United States is promising another $300 million in humanitarian aid
   to South Sudan, where the United Nations says 4 million people are at
   risk of starvation.
   The State Department says the U.S. is responding to immediate food
   needs, including supplements for malnourished children.
   The U.S. is the largest single donor to South Sudan, giving more than
   $434 million since last year. But the State Department says help can
   only be effective if the government and opposition stop fighting and
   putting up obstacles to delivery.
   The latest U.S. aid came at an international donors' conference for
   South Sudan in Oslo Thursday. Participants pledged $600 million. But
   U.N. officials say that is far short of the $1.8 billion that is
   needed.
   Some information for this report comes from AFP and Reuters.
