The second phase of the “Italy for Sudan” initiative was launched on Saturday in Port Sudan, building on the programme initiated on December 25, 2025, through an airlift that delivered humanitarian aid to 2,500 students in schools serving displaced communities on the city’s outskirts.
Italian Ambassador to Sudan Michele Tomasi announced that the new phase includes the delivery of an initial 34 tonnes of food aid to three displacement camps, alongside the planned distribution of non-food items to 15,000 displaced families across 31 camps in Red Sea State in the coming weeks.
He added that total assistance under the initiative will reach 107 tonnes by the end of April. The programme also includes the launch and inspection of development projects supported by Italian Development Cooperation targeting vulnerable groups.
Ambassador Tomasi affirmed that the initiative reflects Italy’s sustained commitment to supporting Sudanese populations affected by the crisis, particularly internally displaced persons, with the aim of delivering tangible improvements in living conditions.
He further noted that Italy has maintained uninterrupted humanitarian engagement in Sudan since the outbreak of the war, with total contributions amounting to approximately €116 million.
