• More than £1bn pledged for Sudan as humanitarian crisis deepens

Contesto

International donors pledged more than £1 billion (€1.15 billion) for Sudan at a conference in Berlin on Wednesday, surpassing the funding target set to address what the United Nations has called the world's largest humanitarian crisis. The substantial financial commitments aim to provide life-saving assistance to a nation where three years of brutal conflict have left an estimated 34 million people—two-thirds of the population—in desperate need of aid. The conference, co-hosted by Germany, the European Union, and the United Nations, sought to galvanize a global response to a catastrophe that has been chronically underfunded, pushing Sudan to the brink of famine and societal collapse. The scale of the pledges represents a significant diplomatic and financial mobilization for a crisis that has struggled to maintain international attention. The funds are intended to support critical operations, including food distribution, medical care, clean water access, and shelter for millions displaced both within Sudan and across its borders. Humanitarian agencies have repeatedly warned that without a massive and immediate injection of resources, the death toll from hunger and disease could soon dwarf that caused by direct violence. The Berlin conference was explicitly framed as an attempt to avert that catastrophic outcome and to prevent the complete disintegration of Sudan's social fabric. Despite the financial breakthrough, the conference was overshadowed by the stark political reality that no ceasefire or peace agreement is in sight.

This creates a fundamental paradox: while money has now been pledged, the mechanisms to safely and reliably deliver assistance to those in greatest need remain severely compromised, if not entirely blocked, in many conflict zones. The conflict's devastating impact extends far beyond immediate casualties. Sudan's economy has...
