Conditions not allowing full-scale humanitarian operations in Sudan despite ceasefire: UN
UNITED NATIONS (AA): The UN said Tuesday that “conditions are not allowing for full-scale humanitarian operations” in Sudan despite a ceasefire.
”Following the recent ceasefire agreement, humanitarian organizations are ready to move about 168 trucks to reach more than 4 million people across the country,” UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric told reporters.
He said the UN and its partners are expanding humanitarian operations to some locations in Sudan despite the challenges.
The Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary agreed Saturday to a seven-day ceasefire.
The conflict-hit African nation has been engulfed by violence for weeks between the army and the RSF.
More than 700 people have been killed, including 190 children, and 6,000 others injured, according to the UN.
More than 1 million residents have been displaced — over 840,000 have sought shelter in rural areas and other states while 250,000 have crossed Sudanese borders.
