Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, whether he has had recent discussions with his international counterparts on taking steps to increase humanitarian aid to Sudan.

The UK is working with regional and international partners, to help bring an end to the hostilities, ensure the protection of civilians and secure safe humanitarian access to and for the most at-need communities. In November the UK, alongside Norway, jointly funded the Sudan Humanitarian Conference which took place in Cairo from 18-20 November. This brought together Sudanese grassroots organisations, NGOs and the international humanitarian system to develop coordination mechanisms to give a greater voice to Sudanese organisations in the humanitarian response. The UK continues to provide assistance to the many people in need in Sudan through our humanitarian aid package of £36 million for 2023-2024.
