Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 July 2025

Debate

Humanitarian Situation in Sudan

Contribution

I agree, and I thank my hon. Friend, both for joining me at that roundtable and for the work that she is doing. The blackout also hinders access to mobile money, which is used to buy essential goods. That enforced silence not only conceals the scale of the atrocities but actively impedes life-saving support and documentation of abuse. There are many courageous organisations and individuals working with survivors to protect them and to bear witness, but they cannot shoulder the burden alone. The sheer scale of the emergency requires a full humanitarian response.
