 ROME (AP) - George Clooney's humanitarian organization has donated $500,000 to a U.N. food aid agency to help it continue flights in Sudan's troubled Darfur region, the agency said Thursday.
The Rome-based World Food Program said that the money came from Not On Our Watch, founded by Clooney and other stars — including Brad Pitt and Matt Damon — to press concerns about Darfur. The group has raised more than $9.3 million for the region.
Earlier this week, the World Food Program warned that lack of funds this year would force a halt to the flights ferrying urgently needed supplies in the region at the end of March.
