Europe stands with the Sudanese people. As Sudan faces collapse and unimaginable suffering, the European Union is providing urgent relief — releasing EUR 1 million in new emergency funding, part of over EUR 272 million mobilised this year. This aid brings food, water, shelter, and medical care to those most in need.
Europe will not look away. It will stay engaged for as long as civilians face starvation, violence, and persecution.
