UNITED NATIONS, Feb. 4 (Xinhua) — United Nations humanitarian agencies said on Wednesday they were deeply alarmed by reports of drone strikes in Sudan's Kadugli town, capital of South Kordofan state, that have killed at least 15 civilians, including seven children.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that, according to the Sudanese Doctors' Union, the latest attack occurred on Tuesday in a residential area of Kadugli and continued into the evening.
"Medical sources indicate that a medical center housing patients was also hit," OCHA reported. "Local sources report that more than half of Kadugli's medical facilities have ceased functioning after months of siege, shelling, and severe shortages of medicines."
The agency said the town of Kadugli was hit by a series of drone strikes this week targeting civilian areas and health facilities, resulting in further civilian casualties and significantly worsening the already precarious health situation.
The department reported that signs of famine have been detected in the town of Kadugli, food prices have risen, and malnutrition is worsening. The main humanitarian aid routes to the town remain inaccessible.
According to OCHA, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Sudan, Denise Brown, met with displaced families in a camp in Ad-Dabba, Northern State, earlier this week, where she was told of brutal violence, fear and loss after more than 1,000 days of war in Sudan.
Humanitarian organizations have called for an end to the violence and additional funding to scale up life-saving assistance.
