on world humanitarian day, uae, u.s., and global partners issue joint statement on sudan
The United Arab Emirates, United States, Switzerland, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the African Union, and the United Nations have come together on World Humanitarian Day to produce a strong unified statement tackling the continuing humanitarian situation in Sudan.
The comment started with a silence to pay tribute to the humanitarian employees who have sadly passed away while operating in Sudan. At least 22 humanitarian workers have been slain since April 2023; 34 others have been injured or killed while serving in the war-torn country. This solemn awareness emphasizes the great dangers that humanitarian workers run every day on their way to help those in great need.
The joint declaration underlined the shared will of these countries and companies to reopen all main supply lines for food and medicine in Sudan. The aim is to reduce the extreme suffering and starvation experienced by millions of people living in the nation, a problem worse by continuous conflict. Emphasizing that the safety of civilians and aid workers must come first, the signatories urged all those engaged in the war to follow their responsibilities under international humanitarian law, as underlined in the Jeddah Declaration.
“We stand in solidarity with all Sudanese and international humanitarian workers in Sudan who have been working tirelessly daily to serve people in need across the country, often facing tremendous risks to do so,” the statement said. Echoing the theme of this year’s World Humanitarian Day, “Act For Humanity,” the organization demanded an instantaneous stop to the violence and for the contending parties to behave in the best of humanity.
Emphasizing the relentless dedication of the international community to assist those in need in Sudan, the united statement was a unified call to actions. The UAE, U.S., Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the African Union, and the United Nations have promised to keep working to solve the severe humanitarian crisis and to support those who risk their life serving others as the crisis lasts.
