The United Kingdom announced today, Tuesday, the provision of new financing of 120 million pounds as urgent humanitarian aid to support the Sudanese people, in a move aimed at addressing the severe deterioration in the humanitarian situation in Sudan two years after the outbreak of the war.
The British Foreign Ministry confirmed – in a statement, on its page – that this funding will be used to provide food aid and life -saving nutrients, including the most vulnerable children, as well as providing emergency support for survivors of sexual violence.
“The brutal war in Sudan has destroyed the lives of millions, yet a large part of the world still turns a blind eye. We must now move to stop this catastrophe before it goes out of control, and ensures that aid has reached those in need of it,” British Foreign Secretary, David Lami, said during an international conference held today in London in partnership with the African Union, the European Union, France and Germany.
Lami added: “As I saw myself during my visit this year to the Sudanese Chadian border, the parties to the conflict showed a horrific ignorance of the lives of civilians. This conference brings together the international community to draw a common path that puts an end to the suffering of the Sudanese people.”

The minister warned, of the risk of instability in the region, stressing that the exacerbation of the crisis pushes more Sudanese to migrate, which may affect regional and international security.
He said: “I cannot be allowed to spread instability, and a safe and stable Sudan is vital to our national security. The United Kingdom will not leave Sudan to fold.”
This British initiative comes in light of the continued suffering of more than 30 million people inside Sudan, including 12 million displaced people, while millions face famine and violence, especially women and girls, and this financial contribution is one of the most prominent international pledges since the outbreak of the conflict in April 2023.
