Monday’s attack left 40 people dead and 19 injured in Abu ShoukAccording to humanitarian partners. The International Migration Organization (Iom) said that renewed violence had forced at least 500 inhabitants of the camp to flee from other parts in the north of Darfur.
The acting humanitarian coordinator of Sudan, Sheldon Yett, condemned “all deliberate and blind attacks against civilians” in the strongest terms.
“” All parties to the conflict have a clear obligation under international humanitarian law to ensure the protection of civiliansStéphane Dujarric, UN spokesperson, said in New York’s daily newspaper on Tuesday.
“Travel and other refuge camps for civilians should not be targeted. And The fact that we have to repeat this almost every day is tragic in itself. “”
Out of way
In the middle of the current climbing of violence in and around El Fasher – the last government held Bastion in Darfur – there are also reports that the city’s exit roads have been blocked and civilians are trapped under siege, cut off from security and aid.
Mr. Yett pointed out that the immediate supply of a safe and unhindered passage for those fleeing El Fasher and other areas of active hostilities are crucial.
He also reiterated the secretary general’s repeated calls for a humanitarian break in and around the city to allow the essential delivery of food, water, medicine and other rescue supplies, stressing that trapped people are confronted with hunger and acute famine.
Deepening of the disaster in Kordofan
In the east of the Kordofan region, violence and travel are still raging.
In the state of southern Kordofan, the IOM estimates that 3,000 people fled the city of Kadugli between August 6 and 10 due to the deepening of insecurity.
Humanitarian access to the city is extremely limited, as the main supply route is inaccessible due to active hostilities, which makes road access practically nonexistent.
This humanitarian crisis aggravates an already disastrous economic situation and causes new shortages of vital goods.
The UN humanitians reiterate that all combatants have obligations under international humanitarian law to refrain from attacking civilians, taking constant care to save them and facilitate unhindered humanitarian access to all needs.
