Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government how they are supporting communities in Sudan though the UK Aid programme; what is the impact of this support and how many people are benefiting from it; and how will that be affected by cuts to UK development aid.

The Government will continue to play a key humanitarian role, including in Ukraine, in Gaza and in Sudan.

In response to the crisis in Sudan UK aid is making a difference and saving lives. Over 600,000 people in Sudan and a further 700,000 people in neighbouring countries who have fled the conflict are now receiving life-saving aid. Between October 2023 and October 2024, UK aid has benefitted nearly 2.5 million people in Sudan.

The impact on specific programmes will be informed by the ongoing Spending Review and departmental resource allocation processes. Plans will be set out in the usual way in due course.
