Sudan: Humanitarian Situation

Adnan Hussain Excerpts

Monday 15th December 2025 Commons Chamber

[Chris Elmore]

Let me give the hon. Gentleman one example. Over the past two years we have provided the World Food Programme with £55 million, which has been explicitly targeted at populations at risk of or experiencing famine, including in Sudan, and £2 million of additional funding for Cash Consortium Sudan’s El Fasher response, supporting over 100,000 people with lifesaving aid in north Darfur. We also work regionally, including around eastern Chad. We do ensure that the funding through the aid programmes reaches the people who are most in need.

[Mr Adnan Hussain (Blackburn) (Ind)]

I echo the calls from colleagues across the House. Given that we are a signatory to the genocide convention, will the Minister plainly commit to using every lever available to the Government, including our position in the United Nations, to demand an immediate end to the horrific situation unfolding in Sudan?

[Chris Elmore]

I can confirm that, as I have done for all questions throughout the session.
