Sudan: Armed Conflict

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the risks to the civilian population of El Obeid referred to in their joint statement with the E4+ on 23 June.

Answer

I refer the Noble Lord to the answers I provided on 24 June in the Private Notice Question debate on the crisis in El Obeid, and I stress again that - alongside our international partners - the UK is doing everything that we believe will make a difference on the ground, to prevent the mass loss of civilian life that we all fear.
