'One third of Sudan's population faces acute food shortages and this represents a real threat of famine. There are too many conflicts in the world but our duty is not to forget what is happening in Sudan' President Emmanuel Macron

'Much is being achieved, despite the enormous constraints that exist . . . Conflict has disrupted, not destroyed, local capacity,' Dominic MacSorley explains, urging donors at today's international donor's conference for #Sudan to fund the humanitarian response.

We welcome Irish Aid's €12.3m pledge today for humanitarian assistance for #Sudan and neighbouring countries.

But, with warnings of impending famine, all funds pledged today in Paris must be made available immediately if lives are to be saved.
