OTTAWA — Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand is announcing $120 million in humanitarian and development aid for Sudan, where she says hunger is being used as a weapon of war.
The United Nations says more than 40,000 people have been killed since Sudan’s civil war started three years ago today.
Aid groups say the true death toll is likely much higher.
The conflict began as a political struggle between the country’s military and paramilitary forces and erupted into a brutal ethnic conflict in the Darfur region.
