Operation Lifeline Sudan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Operation Lifeline Sudan (OLS) is a consortium of UN agencies and approximately 35 NGOs (Non-governmental organizations) operating in southern Sudan to provide humanitarian assistance throughout war-torn and drought-afflicted regions in the South.

Operation Lifeline Sudan was established in April 1989 in response to a devastating famine and the effects of a long-term civil war. It has continued operations until this point in time due to many different factors. OLS was established as a result of negotiations between the UN, the Government of Sudan and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A) to deliver humanitarian assistance to all civilians in need, regardless of their location or political affiliation.
