Sudan humanitarian response
Senator Higgins called for discussion on humanitarian support for Médecins Sans Frontières and others in Sudan, and on what peacebuilding support Ireland can provide at UN and EU level. The Chair expressed solidarity with the Sudanese people.
Apologies. I suggest we need to have a debate and discussion on how Ireland can constructively engage around adequate humanitarian support to Médecins Sans Frontières and others during this emergency and, at UN and EU level, what peacebuilding and conflict resolution support we can provide. I acknowledge many members of the Sudanese community in Ireland, including many doctors, have experienced family loss during the past few days.
