UN, March 24 /Xinhua/ — UN Secretary-General António Guterres strongly condemned Friday's drone strike on the El Daein University Hospital in Sudan's East Darfur state, which killed at least 60 people, including children and medical staff, his spokesman, Stéphane Dujarric, said on Tuesday.
Since April 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) has confirmed more than 200 attacks on health facilities in Sudan, resulting in the deaths of more than 2,000 people, he said.
“The Secretary-General demands that all parties comply with their obligations under international humanitarian law, which clearly provides for the protection of medical personnel and infrastructure and prohibits attacks on civilians and civilian objects,” stressed S. Dujarric.
A. Guterres called on the parties to immediately de-escalate the fighting and agree to a cessation of hostilities. He also reiterated his call for them to engage with mediators, including his personal envoy for Sudan, to return to the negotiating table with the goal of achieving a sustainable ceasefire and launching a comprehensive, inclusive, and nationally focused political process.
The UN emphasized its readiness to support real steps to end the fighting in Sudan and develop a path to long-term peace.
