The UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (VSGV) condemned the attack, which died and injured dozens of people in the city of El-Fasher of the North Darfur in the west of Sudan.
Deputy Special Representative of the UN Secretary General in Sudan and the coordinator of humanitarian aid to Sudan Clementine Nkweta-Salas described these attacks “terrifying for the civilian population.”
According to her, civil infrastructure, such as hospitals and markets, should never become the goal of attacks.
Nkweta Salas noted that people are trying to maintain their economic activity, have unhindered access to humanitarian aid and try to increase financing of humidity. “This” is critical for Sudan to avoid the inevitable threat of hunger, “he is faced with,” she emphasized.
She added that Sudan is faced with “the worst level of acute lack of food in his history.”
Nkweta Salas also said that the number of deaths from April 2023, when conflicts between the army and fast support forces (HDK) began, exceeds 18,800.
– War in Sudan

The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) said that Sudan is a country with the largest number of displaced children in the world – 5 million
General Director of the World Health Organization (WHO) Tedros Adhan Goebreesus emphasized that every fifth resident of Sudan, where the civil war continues, is in a lack of food at an emergency.
