The last strikes come in the wake of a series of attacks by drones during the past few days on the civil infrastructure in Port Sudan and Kasla, two cities that are largely a safe haven for civilians who were displaced several times during the devastating conflict. The recent attacks on Kassala Airport in eastern Sudan were forced, who resorted to a location near it to move again.

Since the beginning of the year, attacks, such as power stations, sub -water stations, and oil refineries across the country, have caused widespread interruptions of electricity and obstructed access to basic rights and services, including the safe drinking water of civilians, health care and food supplies.

In this regard, Mrs. Nkoueta – Salami said that these attacks represent serious violations of international humanitarian law, which prohibits the targeting of civilians and civil infrastructure, “It reflects a continuous failure to comply with the principles of discrimination, proportion and caution.”

It called on all parties involved in the conflict in Sudan to stop hostile actions, stressing the need to take “All measures needed to protect civilians and civilian notables.”

At the daily press conference in New York, UN deputy spokesman, Farhan Haq, confirmed that none of the United Nations employees or its facilities were directly affected by the strikes that were launched today in Port Sudan, but he indicated that the United Nations Humanitarian Air Force Service to and from the airport is still suspended.

Despite hostilities, the United Nations continues to provide assistance to the most vulnerable groups in Sudan. In this context, Mr. Haq said that humanitarian organizations are mobilizing aid to 35,000 people in the city of Al -Dahin, who fled to it from the states of Khartoum and Al -Jazeera.

He added that the organization intensifies its efforts in the field of water, sanitation and hygiene, in addition to awareness of public health, to reduce the spread of hepatitis (E – E) in Kassala State.
