Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking with international partners to end the current conflict in Sudan and prevent further civilian casualties.

The UK supports and works alongside international partners to press the parties to agree to a permanent ceasefire, allow unrestricted humanitarian access, protect civilians, and commit to a sustained and meaningful peace process. The UK will also continue to use its position as penholder at the UN Security Council to urge the warring parties to achieve a ceasefire, increase much-needed humanitarian assistance and access and ensure the protection of civilians. On 13 June, the UNSC adopted a UK-led resolution demanding a halt to the Rapid Support Forces' siege of El Fasher and calling on warring parties to seek an immediate cessation of hostilities and safe, unimpeded humanitarian access.
