00:00On the second anniversary of the outbreak of Sudan's civil war, UK Foreign Secretary David Lamy has announced 140 million euros in new aid during an international conference on Tuesday in London.
00:16Lamy stressed that the biggest obstacle is not funding but political will.
00:20And today I'm announcing a further £120 million worth of support. But the biggest obstacle is not a lack of funding or tax at the United Nations. It's a lack of political will.
00:38The conference aims to mobilise UK and EU humanitarian aid for Sudan, with neither the Sudanese government nor its paramilitary rival Rapid Support Forces invited.
00:52Meanwhile, Germany said it was pledging an additional £125 million for Sudan and the neighbouring states.
01:01Tens of thousands of people have been killed by the conflict. According to the UN, over 12.6 million people have been forcibly displaced and some 25 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance and protection.
