Humanitarian situation in Sudan

That this House condemns the brutal war between Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese Army (SAF) which started this April; agrees with Doctors without Borders that the war constitutes a catastrophic failure of humanity; agrees with the Government’s Africa minister that the violence in Darfur, where 68 villages were burned down, bears all the hallmarks of ethnic cleansing; expresses its alarm at the UN’s figure of 19 million children being out of education, over 5.7 million displaced civilians within and outside of Sudan, and at least 7,000 killings; believes an urgent priority must be for both parties to stop the fighting; condemns the inaction of the international community in helping to resolve this conflict; decries the increasing cases of sexual and gender-based violence, enforced disappearances, arbitrary detention and violation of humanitarian law; further believes the unfettered access of medical supplies, fuel, food, electricity and water must be ensured to guarantee that international humanitarian law is upheld and that civilians are protected in accordance with those laws; and also believes that the UK Government must intervene further in this situation through mediation and aid provision.
