The United Arab Emirates has announced that it has signed an agreement with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to address the humanitarian crisis in Sudan and prevent the risk of famine.

According to Amac News: The UAE said that according to this agreement, it will contribute $5 million in cash to this organization, which will be used for the project "Famine Reduction in Sudan - Supporting Vulnerable Small Farmers Affected by the Conflict and Livestock Households".
The FAO project, which is going to be implemented for one year, aims to provide emergency agricultural, livestock and veterinary assistance to 275 thousand vulnerable smallholder farmers and livestock farmers, which will benefit approximately 1 million and 375 thousand people.
Abdul Hakim Al Wair, Assistant Director-General and FAO Regional Representative for the Near East and North Africa, said: "This support is for the 2024 FAO Humanitarian Response Program targets to reach 1.8 million households, guarantee direct livelihoods for 9 million people in Sudan, and Helping to produce food for the wider population is vital. We are committed to making a tangible difference in the lives of the people we serve, and this partnership brings us one step closer to our goal in Sudan."
The aid is part of the UAE's $70 million pledge announced in April at the International Humanitarian Conference for Sudan and Neighboring Countries to UN agencies and humanitarian organizations to alleviate the severe humanitarian crisis in Sudan.
