Tearfund and Christian Aid will use the new funding to support “ongoing humanitarian work”, including improving food access for nearly 10,000 Sudanese refugees and working to prevent gender-based violence among 13,000 vulnerable people. External Affairs Secretary Angus Robertson said the funding would deliver “life saving assistance”. He added: “Sudan faces the world’s worst humanitarian crisis with more than 24 million people facing high levels of acute food shortages and gender-based violences. Nearly 13 million people have been displaced from their homes, with many fleeing to Egypt, Libya, Chad, and South Sudan. James Wani, who manages Christian Aid’s efforts in South Sudan, said the charity was ‘grateful’ for the funding.
