The United Kingdom, together with 31 international partners, has published a joint ministerial statement addressing the escalating risk of famine in Sudan. The statement emphasizes the severity of the humanitarian situation in the country, where the ongoing conflict has led to mass population displacement and destruction of economic infrastructure. Partners expressed concern that millions of civilians are threatened by acute food shortages. The international community has called on the parties to the conflict to ensure unimpeded humanitarian access for providing assistance to the affected population. The necessity of coordinated efforts to prevent full-scale famine and minimize casualties is underscored. The statement reflects growing concern among Western countries over the situation in Sudan, where an armed conflict between rival military factions continues for an extended period, further aggravating the already difficult economic and social situation in the country. The signatory countries have committed to continuing to monitor the situation and support humanitarian organizations operating on the ground. Special attention is paid to protecting vulnerable populations, including children and displaced persons, who are most at risk of malnutrition and famine.
