The United Arab Emirates donated $11 million to support emergency relief efforts related to the Sudanese crisis as part of an international humanitarian agreement. In response to the escalating humanitarian crisis, the commitment was made during a UN Security Council meeting and formalised with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).

Of the total, $1 million will go to the IFRC's Emergency Disaster Response Fund and $10 million will support host communities that provide refuge to Sudanese refugees in Chad, South Sudan, Uganda, and Ethiopia. More than a million refugees and host communities impacted by displacement will receive food, medical care, shelter, and other necessities due to the funding.

Dr. Tariq Ahmed Al-Amiri, President of the UAE International Aid Agency, and Jagan Chapagin, Secretary General of the IFRC, signed the agreement. With an emphasis on safeguarding women, children, and the elderly and making sure aid reaches the most vulnerable during conflicts and disasters, UAE officials underlined their dedication to their ethical and humanitarian obligations.

In addition to this agreement, the UAE has given Sudan $4.24 billion over the last ten years (2015–2025), including $784 million in humanitarian aid since the start of the current conflict in 2023. The UAE is currently the second-largest aid supplier to Sudan after the United States, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, underscoring its prominent position in global humanitarian assistance.
