The European Union has made available close to EUR 1,000,000,000 for Sudan and neighbouring countries since 2023

Omissions

• The figure of 'close to EUR 1 billion' appears to conflate different time periods or include non-humanitarian assistance. The EU allocated €263 million specifically for Sudan humanitarian aid in 2023.
• In April 2025, the EU announced €282.5 million for Chad and Sudan crisis.
• In March 2026, the EU and Member States pledged over €812 million collectively (with €360.8 million from the European Commission) for Sudan response.
• The claim does not distinguish between humanitarian aid, development aid, and pledges versus actual disbursements.
