The Council members expressed their support to efforts between the League of Arab States and the Sudanese government to aid displaced Sudanese, as well as to offer health, medical, food, and social care support to civilians in conflict zones.

The Council instructed the Technical Secretariat of the Council of Arab Ministers of Social Affairs to present a report on the subject to the next session of the 43rd Council of Arab Ministers of Social Affairs.

At the conclusion of the meeting, the Council directed the General Secretariat of the Social Affairs Sector to purchase social and humanitarian support supplies and work to deliver them to those in need in coordination with the relevant Arab and international organisations to mitigate the humanitarian and social effects in Sudan.
