UN concern about the situation of civilians in southeastern Sudan
Washington – SPA:
The United Nations has expressed concern about the situation of civilians fleeing insecurity in the Blue Nile State in southeastern Sudan, as well as the difficulty of the humanitarian workers in them. Local authorities estimate that four thousand displaced people from the town of Ulu and other towns in the Bao region are heading towards the city of Damazin, the capital of the Blue Nile State, which is approximately 230 km. “Nearly 600 people have arrived in the city so far, and they are residing in a site for the displaced,” said UN spokesman Stephen Dujarric. “The continued insecurity and bureaucratic restrictions prevented the access of the United Nations humanitarian partners to the affected areas, and we call again to provide safe and sustainable human access and without obstacles to all those in need.” Dujarik also reported the arrival of new arrival from southern Sudan to other parts of the Blue Nile State in recent weeks, indicating the increasing complexity of the situation in the region.
