Operation Lifeline Sudan: Green Grass and Children at Play

Operation Lifeline Sudan: Green Grass and Children at Play

An estimated 4.5 million people whose lives have been disrupted by the civil war and years of drought in Sudan are receiving essential help from Operation Lifeline Sudan (OLS) and support for their efforts to achieve long-term self-reliance. In a precedent-setting initiative in cooperation with the Government of Sudan and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM), the United Nations System and its agencies (UNICEF, WFP, WHO), together with the ICRC and NGOs, launched OLS in April 1989. In 1990, with the armed conflict intensifying and poor rainfall still crippling food production, the Government of Sudan appealed to the UN to continue OLS activities. The result is a $30-million Plan of Action, with UNICEF focusing on provision of emergency non-food relief and support for rehabilitation.
The playful spirit triumphs over the impact of hunger and war.
