Germany has announced an additional $23.6 million (€20 million) in humanitarian aid to Sudan in 2026, as the country grapples with one of the world’s most severe humanitarian crises. The funding, confirmed by Germany’s development ministry on April 15, will support relief efforts both within Sudan and in neighbouring countries affected by the ongoing conflict, as reported by Reuters.
The latest contribution builds on €155.4 million already committed by Germany since the end of 2025, bringing total support to over €175 million. The announcement coincides with an international aid conference in Berlin, where Germany is seeking to mobilize at least €1 billion in global funding to address the crisis, officials said.
Sudan’s conflict between the national army and the Rapid Support Forces has now entered its third year, triggering widespread hunger and displacing millions of people. Humanitarian agencies estimate that over 33 million people are in need of assistance, underscoring the scale of the emergency and the growing pressure on international donors.
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said the funding reflects both humanitarian responsibility and strategic interest, noting that increased support could help prevent further instability and migration pressures. The additional aid highlights Europe’s expanding role in addressing global crises, particularly as other major donors scale back commitments, reinforcing the urgency of coordinated international action.
