Sudan: Food Aid

Asked by Wendy MortonConservativeForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 8 May 2025UIN 47226

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps he is taking to ensure the additional £120 million in food aid to Sudan pledged by the UK for the 2025-26 financial year reaches (a) civilians and (b) women and girls.

Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer

The conflict in Sudan is having a devastating impact on the people of Sudan, particularly women and girls. At the recent London Sudan Conference, the Foreign Secretary announced a package of support budgeted at £120 million which will deliver life-saving services to more than 650,000 people. The UK continues to advocate for safe, rapid, and unimpeded humanitarian access so that the most vulnerable can be reached with aid.
