The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 7 May 2025 to Question 48426 on Sudan: Humanitarian Aid, what steps he is taking to ensure that UK aid is reaching the people that need it in Sudan.

Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer

The UK is playing a leading role in response to the crisis in Sudan, including efforts to facilitate more consistent humanitarian access into and within Sudan. We will continue to use all levers at our disposal to address Sudan's brutal conflict and to improve humanitarian access. At the April London Sudan Conference, the Foreign Secretary highlighted the importance of humanitarian access and the co-chairs' statement from the Conference called on the warring parties to facilitate rapid, safe and unimpeded humanitarian access in accordance with the commitments made in the Jeddah Declaration, and in adherence with their obligations under international humanitarian law.
