Sudan: Food Insecurity
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what additional humanitarian measures they are considering in response to worsening food insecurity across Sudan.
- Answer
-
I refer the Noble Baroness to the statement made by the Foreign Secretary on 19 February before the UN Security Council on Sudan. She highlighted the continued work the UK is doing as the third largest bilateral donor to Sudan, on securing humanitarian access across Sudan and on protecting civilians and humanitarian operations, as well as holding to account those who are perpetrating or profiting from the appalling atrocities committed in Sudan. I will continue to keep the House updated on the actions the UK is taking alongside our international partners to secure a ceasefire in Sudan, and support the humanitarian needs of its people, including the millions currently suffering from food insecurity and starvation.
