Guterres said in his declaration to target humanitarian workers, while 90 people have lost their lives since the war in Sudan on April 15, 2023.
The secretary-general addressed the destruction of basic services and the deprivation of millions of children in education and the capacity of less than a quarter of health establishments to continue working in the most affected areas.
The United Nations said yesterday that reliable sources confirmed that rapid support forces killed 400 people in recent Darfur attacks.
Ravenna Shamdasani, spokesperson for the United Nations Human Rights Office, said that the office team in Sudan has so far confirmed the killing killing 148 people, and that the number is a candidate to increase.
The United Nations also said that Sudan faced an aggravation of the humanitarian disaster with the climbing of famine and conflicts, and the continuous attacks due to war.
A report, prepared by experts from the international organization, considered that Sudan witnesses a hunger crisis, which can lead to the murder of thousands of people, and that children are trapped in the continuous fire of the bombardment of “parties to the conflict that obstructed or looted humanitarian aid”.
Yesterday, Guterres condemned the murder of dozens of civilians during attacks against the city of El Fasher, Zamzam Circassians, Abu Shuk and other neighboring sites than the displaced refuge, in the state of Darfur du Nord.
