"Aid alone cannot solve crisis UK foreign minister Fighting has raged in Sudan between the military and its former ally, the RSF, since 2023. The United Arab Emirates has been accused of fueling the crisis by providing weapons and other support to the RSF. Speaking in Bahrain, British Foreign Minister Yvette Cooper said, "No amount of aid can resolve a crisis of this magnitude until the guns fall silent.""
""Mass executions, starvation and the devastating use of rape as a weapon of war, with women and children bearing the brunt of the largest humanitarian crisis in the 21st century," Cooper added. "For too long, this terrible conflict has been neglected, while suffering has simply increased." Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi also said the civil war in Sudan has not received adequate attention. "A humanitarian crisis of inhumane proportions has taken place there," he said."
