We urge the EU and political leaders to turn commitments into action:
➡️ Protect civilians under international humanitarian law
➡️ Ensure unhindered humanitarian access
➡️ Guarantee safe access to education & healthcare
Sudan must not be forgotten. #KeepEyesOnSudan
📊 The reality in #Sudan is stark:
• 12M at risk of gender‑based violence
• 14M children – mostly girls – out of school
• 21M facing acute hunger
• 30+M need urgent humanitarian aid
Yet the humanitarian response remains critically underfunded.
Today, global leaders meet in Berlin for the third International #Sudan Conference, three years into a devastating conflict that continues to hit civilians hardest – especially girls and women.
Plan International is represented by Mohammed Kamal, Country Director for Sudan. #KeepEyesOnSudan
🔴 The OECD DAC released preliminary figures on #ODA spending for 2025 and they keep showing a worrying trend.

The EU has stepped up, providing over €270 million in humanitarian aid and launching an emergency air bridge to deliver life-saving supplies to Darfur. But aid alone is not enough.
Renewed diplomacy, accountability, and protection of civilians are urgently needed.
