Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the number of people who are dying of hunger or who are food insecure in Sudan.

In Sudan 17.7 million people (37 percent of the population) are now thought to be experiencing acute food insecurity. This is likely to worsen in the coming months in parts of West Darfur, Khartoum, and among the displaced population more broadly. In 2024/2025, we are providing £89 million for Sudan, which will include assistance to address food insecurity.
