(View all Lord Alton of Liverpool's FCDO questions)The limited access environment and ongoing internet and telecommunication disruptions in Sudan means that reporting on the ground is extremely restricted, so there is no accurate estimate of the number of people killed or injured. We know people are in desperate need. With an estimated 7.7 million people internally displaced and a further 2.3 million having fled to neighbouring countries, Sudan is now the world's largest displacement crisis. We urge both the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces to agree to a sustainable ceasefire and ensure that it is upheld. The UK engages regularly with Ramtane Lamamra, the UN Secretary-General Personal Envoy on Sudan to push for coordinated mediation tracks and efforts to press the warring parties to agree a sustained and meaningful peace process.
