UK announces £120m aid package for Sudan - as Lammy warns 'much of the world continues to look away' The UK will announce a £120m aid package for Sudan at a conference in London to mark the two-year anniversary of the conflict in the African country. Foreign Secretary David Lammy will host senior representatives from the African Union and EU nations at the summit on Tuesday, which will be attended by major donors and multilateral institutions. During the one-day conference, he will announce the new funding for the financial year 2025-26 to support more than 650,000 Sudanese people, who have been caught up in a bloody conflict between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitaries since 2023. Mr Lammy is expected to say: "Two years is far too long - the brutal war in Sudan has devastated the lives of millions - and yet much of the world continues to look away. "We need to act now to stop the crisis from becoming an all-out catastrophe, ensuring aid gets to those who need it the most."
