The United States has proposed to the rest of the Security Council members the adoption of "immediate measures" to deliver humanitarian aid to millions of Sudanese threatened by famine. This includes establishing a "cross-border mechanism" for this purpose if the Sudanese military does not allow aid delivery through all border crossings.

The administration of President Joe Biden is undertaking efforts similar to resolutions taken by the Security Council for cross-border aid deliveries to Syria. This comes on the verge of the first anniversary of the conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces led by Lt. Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the “Rapid Support Forces” led by Lt. Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, also known as "Hemedti." These efforts coincide with the upcoming Paris donor conference on April 15 and the expected peace talks following the current month of Ramadan in Jeddah.

The proposal was presented by the U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, and the U.S. Envoy to Sudan, Tom Perriello, to the Security Council on Thursday evening. Thomas-Greenfield mentioned that "about 18 million Sudanese are facing severe food insecurity. Children are starving, wasting away, and dying." While referring to the "ignorance" of Security Council Resolution 2724 regarding the ceasefire during Ramadan, she noted that nearly a year into the crisis, "the situation in Sudan remains catastrophic and is getting worse." She added, "Currently, only 5 percent" of the humanitarian appeal launched by the United Nations for the country has been met. She observed that the issue is not only a lack of funding but also that "humanitarian workers are simply unable to deliver it to those in need," accusing fighters from both sides of having "worked to undermine" the delivery of aid, "...including the Sudanese Armed Forces, which have hindered the main humanitarian aid shipments from Chad to Darfur."
