Ms Richard announced an additional funding of 21.6 thousand million US Dollars for conflict victims and South Sudan refugees in neighbouring countries.
She revealed that US so far provided 456 million Dollars for South Sudan crisis, lamenting that it would not be enough without contributions from other countries and end of conflict that frustrates aid efforts.
