MOSCOW (Sputnik) - On Monday, European Commissioner for Crisis Management Janez Lenarcic said that the European Commission will allocate close to 355 million euros in humanitarian aid to Sudan in 2024.
Participants of the international conference on Sudan and neighboring countries pledged to donate over 2 billion euros to provide assistance to Sudanese people, affected by the ongoing armed conflict in the country, the French Foreign Ministry said.

"In response to the United Nations appeal for funding on 7 February 2024, international donors have today announced that they will provide more than 2 billion, including nearly 900 million euros from the European Union and its Member States, to support civilian populations in Sudan and those who sought refuge in neighboring countries in 2024," the ministry said in a statement on Monday.

The ministry added that participants of the conference also adopted a document requiring the parties to the Sudanese conflict to cease hostilities and begin to fulfill the obligations voiced at the negotiations in Saudi Arabia in May 2023.
