Between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Sudan has been caught in a terrible struggle since mid-April 2023. The United Nations estimates that this war has claimed around 15,000 lives and displaced almost 8.5 million people. The UAE's assistance seeks to assist internally displaced people, refugees, and returnees most affected by the war.
Sultan Al Shamsi, Assistant Minister for International Development Affairs for the United Arab Emirates, and Matthew Nims, Executive Director of the WFP's Washington headquarters formalized the deal. By means of this gift, the UAE is directly tackling the severe food crisis that has left 17.7 million people in Sudan and 7.1 million in South Sudan in critical need of aid.
UAE's Total Humanitarian Assistance to Sudan
The UAE promises to be rather committed in helping Sudan. The country has promised $100 million overall to help Sudan; $70 million is especially set aside for different UN agencies and humanitarian organizations. This money fits inside a larger plan to handle the several humanitarian crises in the area.
Recent Payments Made
Apart from the $25 million given to the WFP, the UAE declared a $70 million commitment in April during the 'International Humanitarian Conference for Sudan and Neighbouring Countries'. From food and medical supplies to more general humanitarian aid projects, this money is meant to support a broad spectrum of relief activities.
Breakdown of Recent Contributions
- $20 million: Allocated to support Sudan directly.
- $5 million: Designated for humanitarian efforts in South Sudan.
The UAE has a past of helping Sudan. It has thus already provided $150 million in aid, comprising food, other relief goods, and essential medical supplies. Additionally part of the UAE's all-encompassing strategy is the building of a field hospital in Abeche, Chad, to treat Sudanese migrants.
Examining Humanitarian Needs and Food Insecurity
The UAE's recent $25 million donation mostly aims to address food shortages and stop famine in Sudan and South Sudan. The WFP has underlined the escalating catastrophe, pointing out that more than two million war-torn displaced persons now live in neighbouring nations including Chad and South Sudan, already beset with their own hunger problems.
Helping Displaced People and Refugees
Those most impacted by the conflict—that is, refugees, internally displaced persons, and returnees—will receive the aid. The continuous violence and instability in the area have caused great suffering for several sensitive groups. The financial support of the UAE seeks to offer quick relief and assist to stabilize the state of food security.
A Legacy of Humanitarian Helpfulness
The UAE's activities in Sudan fit a long-standing custom of offering relief to nations in distress. The UAE guarantees that its contributions are used wisely to reach those most in need by working with foreign agencies such as the WFP.
