"Cooper will unveil a doubling of UK aid to £15 million for Sudanese frontline responders such as the grassroots volunteer network known as Emergency Response Rooms."
"More than 19 million people face acute hunger as a result of the fighting, while some areas are at risk of famine."
"Cooper hopes that an end to the fighting is achievable, calling for the international community to secure a ceasefire and a diplomatic solution."
Yvette Cooper, the British foreign secretary, will urge Sudan's warring factions to stop the violence at a conference in Berlin. The event marks three years since the war began and aims to address a significant humanitarian funding shortfall. Only 16% of the required funding has been provided, exacerbating the crisis. Cooper plans to announce a doubling of UK aid to support frontline responders. Over 19 million people face acute hunger, with projections indicating that this number could rise to 22-23 million as conditions worsen.
