In response to the International Criminal Court’s decision to indict him, Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir has ordered 13 foreign aid agencies to leave Sudan. His actions have further endangered the estimated 4.7 million people in the region who rely on food, medical and water aid. The expelled organizations are responsible for at least 50 per cent of this aid.
