They said the requested funds would go to help millions of civilians in Sudan and others who have fled abroad.
“They have lost so much," said U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi, who recently met with displaced families in Sudan and neighboring Ethiopia.
"Time after time, we hear the same message from them: We want peace so we can go home, and we need support to rebuild our lives.”“They desperately need help, and they need it now,” Grandi added.
UNHCR is seeking $1.4 billion to help nearly 2.7 million people who have fled into five neighboring countries.
The United Nations says the war in Sudan has killed at least 12,000 people, although local doctors groups say the true toll is far higher.
