<p>The UK condemns the ongoing violence in Sudan, and the consequent humanitarian
impacts on people displaced both inside the country and those forced to flee to neighbouring
countries. We commend those countries who have kept their borders open. In May, the
Minister for Development and Africa announced that the UK would provide £21.7 million
in humanitarian aid for people in need in Sudan. This followed an earlier announcement
of £5 million to help meet the urgent needs of refugees and returnees fleeing to South
Sudan and Chad. We continue to call on both sides of the conflict to abide by their
responsibilities under International Law, protect civilians and to grant immediate
and unimpeded humanitarian access, so that aid can reach those who need it, including
those who have been displaced.</p>
