answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2024 answer text <p>The UK supports an immediate end to hostilities, both for the sake of Sudan's people, and to avoid spillover into the wider region. We continue to emphasise to the international community the importance of neutrality and of supporting a ceasefire and political transition. Since 15 April, 1.8 million people have been displaced outside of Sudan, many fleeing to neighbouring countries. The UK recognises the significant pressure that the Sudan crisis is putting on neighbouring countries and commends them for the support they are providing. We are helping those fleeing to neighbouring countries as a result of the conflict, with £7.75 million to support existing and new Sudanese refugees as well as vulnerable returnees and host communities in South Sudan and £15 million to Chad.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 12/03/2024 16:18:37 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2024 answer text <p>Our top humanitarian priority remains securing immediate humanitarian access and operational security guarantees for humanitarian agencies. The UK strongly condemns the decision on 21 February by the Sudanese Armed Forces to withdraw permission for cross-border deliveries of humanitarian aid from Adré in Chad. As penholder on Sudan, we urgently convened the Security Council to consider this matter. We note the SAF's commitments on 5 March date to facilitate crossline and other cross-border routes for the delivery of life-saving assistance to Darfur and the Kordofans and we are calling on them to ensure that these commitments are honoured in full. The UK continues to work with regional and international partners to help bring an end to the hostilities, ensure the protection of civilians and secure safe humanitarian access to and for the most at need communities.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 12/03/2024 09:21:22 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2024 answer text <p>Since the outbreak of conflict in April 2023, there has been a significant escalation of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) in Sudan. The UK has reprioritised its official development assistance programming to focus on gender-based violence (GBV) prevention, protection of and care for rape survivors. We have also integrated CRSV into humanitarian assistance, making use of local Women's Centres, mobile clinics and internally displaced person's gathering points, for community engagement and service provision. In Sudan in 2023, over 26,000 people have been provided with sexual and reproductive health services, over 38,000 people have been given mental health and psychological support, and over 9,000 people have benefited from risk mitigation and response services.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 12/03/2024 16:20:58 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2024 answer text <p>We welcome the report of 23 February by the High Commissioner for Human Rights and his Expert, Radhoune Nouicer, on the situation in Sudan. The report details multiple atrocities committed by both the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces. We continue to take a leading role in supporting processes for justice and accountability in Sudan. In October 2023, the UN Human Rights Council adopted the UK-led Sudan Core Group resolution to establish an independent and international Fact-Finding Mission. This will support future accountability efforts in Sudan. The UK is also funding open-source investigation experts to use satellite and social media to verify and preserve information relating to attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 12/03/2024 16:03:12 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2024 answer text <p>Neither the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office nor Department for Business and Trade hold data centrally on the impact of the conflict on UK trade with and investment in Sudan. Trade between the UK and Sudan has been limited because of historic and continued sanctions against Sudan since 1997. With the British Embassy temporarily closed, it is regrettably not possible to provide support to British businesses affected by the conflict.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 12/03/2024 16:18:28 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
