International community cannot let people of Sudan become a political bargaining chip



The UAE has voiced deep concern over the worsening humanitarian crisis in Sudan, where over 25 million people face severe food insecurity. The Gulf state is alarmed by catastrophic hunger conditions across at least a dozen states.

On Tuesday, the UAE emphasized the urgent need for the international community to remain focused on Sudan. The crisis demands an emergency response to accelerate aid delivery and secure a ceasefire.

UAE Urges UNSC to Act

Trucks carrying lifesaving aid are stalled at Sudan's borders, while countless people suffer from hunger, particularly in Northern Darfur and Zamzam Camp. The UAE condemns the indiscriminate attacks preventing civilians from accessing help.

The UAE insists that Sudan’s armed forces lift restrictions on humanitarian access and that the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces ensure safe entry and operation for aid organizations and personnel without fear of attack.

The UAE calls on the UN Security Council to use all available tools to end the catastrophic situation in Sudan. Decisive action by the Council is crucial to coordinating international efforts and delivering the aid needed to combat the famine.

Prioritizing Human Life Over Military Objectives

As a committed humanitarian partner, the UAE has allocated $70 million to address Sudan’s urgent needs and $30 million to assist Sudanese refugees in neighboring countries.

The UAE again urges all Sudanese factions to agree to an immediate and permanent ceasefire, ensure unhindered and safe humanitarian access, and prioritize human life over military objectives.
