HUMANITARIAN AID: EU ALLOCATES €55 MILLION IN SUDAN

 The European Commission is mobilising €55 million to help vulnerable people caught in humanitarian
 crises in Sudan. The announcement comes as at least 8 million people in Sudan are in need of
 humanitarian assistance, with 6.3 million not having enough food to meet their needs. One in six children
 is also suffering from acute undernourishment.

 EU humanitarian funding from this aid package contributes to responding to the most critical needs,
 through:

 - food and nutrition assistance for vulnerable households that struggle to get enough food to meet their
   needs, and for children under five and pregnant/breastfeeding mothers;
 - emergency health care, including in tackling the current cholera outbreak affecting some parts of Sudan;
- support to refugees, Sudanese who are forcibly displaced within their country, and host communities by providing basic essential items and services; 
- education for children living in areas hit by the crises.
