New York, US (PANA) - There has been an alarming escalation of violence in Sudan's Kordofan region where fighting has killed and injured civilians, destroyed homes, hospitals and other civilian infrastructure.
In South Kordofan, confrontations between the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia and the Sudanese Armed Forces have “intensified in recent days”, the Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, Stéphane Dujarric, said.
This includes a drone strike that hit the Dilling General Hospital this week, killing at least four patients and injuring civilians, UN News said.
Violence has also escalated in North Kordofan and the city of El Obeid has faced continued drone attacks over the past five days.
“Humanitarian access is also becoming increasingly restrained,” Mr. Dujarric said.
There are growing threats to critical infrastructure and supply routes, including the road between Kosti and El Obeid, raising serious concerns for both humanitarian and critical commercial supply chains.
Mr. Dujarric urged parties to follow international law and ensure “the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure and the facilitation of safe and sustained humanitarian access”.
