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

Today marks 1000 days since the start of Sudan’s conflict, now the world’s most devastating humanitarian and displacement crisis. Half the population faces famine, schools have collapsed, and women and girls face extreme violence and lack basic health care.
