Concern Worldwide welcomes the commitment by Tánaiste and Foreign Minister Micheál Martin to elevate the horror of the deteriorating humanitarian crisis in Sudan with his EU counterparts.

The Tánaiste made this commitment in Ethiopia this week, following meetings in Ethiopia and Kenya. Intervention by the EU and the wider international community is long overdue to halt the fighting and create the conditions for a large scale humanitarian response.
