The UK is working with the UN, other donors and humanitarian agencies to coordinate the effective delivery of aid to Sudan, including to support the many people who have been displaced by the conflict. At the Sudan Pledging Event on 19 June, a total of $1.52 billion was pledged to fund life-saving relief efforts in Sudan and the region. In November, the UK announced £14.3 million in humanitarian aid for Sudan, bringing our total support to £36 million for 2023-2024. We continue to work with international partners, such as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), to press the parties to allow unfettered humanitarian access, and for the provision of continued support for the Sudanese people.
