David Lammy visited the Adré border post on Friday to witness first -hand the impact of Sudan 's civil war.

The UK foreign minister said he was 'horrified' after meeting Sudan war victims face-to-face.

He decried what he described as a "hierarchy of conflict" that has seemingly placed Sudan 's at the bottom of the world's humanitarian crisis.

A disruption in the support of one of the world's largest donors will no doubt have devastating consequences on crises like Sudan .

The UN is already struggling to meet its targets for badly needed aid money.

An appeal for $ 2.7bn ( 2.2bn ) to support Sudan was put out in 2024 , but only 57% of this money was provided.
