Report informs that Italian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani shared the update on X following his participation in the third humanitarian conference on Sudan in Berlin.

According to him, the funds will be directed to projects in healthcare, education and agriculture.

Tajani stressed the need for international dialogue to bring a swift end to the conflict in Sudan and to restore peace and stability.

He also said Italy plans to organise a political and humanitarian meeting together with the Food and Agriculture Organization to support reconciliation and negotiations.

Sudan has been gripped by civil war for three years. Clashes between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces have continued since October 15, 2023, killing more than 40,000 people and forcing nearly 14 million to flee their homes.
