Answer
The humanitarian situation in Sudan is worsening dramatically. The UK's top humanitarian priority is to secure operational security guarantees and workable humanitarian access. There can be no international aid without safe and reliable access. We will work with international partners to support the UN to be able to scale-up delivery within Sudan so they can move quickly to respond if and when the access situation improves. The UK will support a well-coordinated and prioritised regional response.
