Sudan: Food Aid
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to ensure access to nutritional treatment in areas (a) experiencing and (b) at risk of famine in Sudan.
Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer
The humanitarian crisis in Sudan is the largest and most severe globally. Tens of millions of people require life-saving aid with almost 640,000 people projected to be experiencing catastrophic famine conditions. In the financial year ending 31 March 2025, the UK provided more than £226 million in life-saving aid towards the crisis. As part of this, we supported the United Nations Children's Fund who provided lifesaving nutrition and health programmes to some of the most vulnerable and hard-to-reach people in Sudan. This includes integrated nutrition, water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), and health programming. We also supported the International Committee of the Red Cross who provided health and WASH programmes.
