“On Sudan, you will have seen that yesterday the Secretary-General dispatched Martin Griffiths, the Emergency Relief Coordinator, to the region to explore how we can bring immediate relief to millions of people whose lives have been turned upside down by the ongoing fighting in Sudan. Mr. Griffiths arrived in Nairobi, where he met President Ruto and also the Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly who was there, and others to discuss what he called the "catastrophic" situation in Sudan.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General, United Nations:
“The UN and our partners are doing our best to reboot the humanitarian response in the country, Mr. Griffiths said and as you'll recall, massive looting has depleted us of most our supplies, and we're urgently exploring ways to bring and distribute additional supplies. Just a bit more information on what’s going on on the ground. The World Food Programme is immediately lifting the temporary suspension of operations. Distribution of food is expected to commence in the states of Gedaref, Gezira, Kassala and White Nile in the coming days to provide the life-saving assistance that many so desperately need right now.
As you know, the suspension of operations was put in place after the tragic deaths of three WFP team members on April 15.”

“Where the security situation allows it, including in Eastern Sudan, our partners are continuing their operations, mainly in health and nutrition services. The World Health Organization has distributed fuel to some hospitals in Sudan – and is also working to offload six containers of medical supplies that arrived by ship in Port Sudan on the Red Sea. This includes supplies for treating traumatic injuries and severe acute malnutrition. Meanwhile, the UN Population Fund is supporting partners on the ground with life-saving healthcare and supplies for safe births. The UN Refugee Agency, in consultation with the Governments and partners, are planning for over 800,000 people who may flee fighting in Sudan to the seven neighbouring countries. Without a quick resolution of the crisis, we will continue to see more people forced to flee in search of safety and humanitarian assistance. The latest figures from our teams on the ground confirm that 73,000 people have arrived in neighbouring countries, including Sudanese refugees and also returning refugees, notably from South Sudan, South Sudan Sudanese refugees.”

“Today, the Secretary-General is appointing Clementine Nkweta-Salami of Cameroon as his Deputy Special Representative for the UN Mission in Sudan, UNITAMS. She will also serve as the UN Resident Coordinator and Humanitarian Coordinator in the country.
She succeeds Khardiata Lo N’Diaye of Senegal, to whom the Secretary-General is grateful for her dedication. Ms. Nkweta-Salami brings to the position 30 years of experience in humanitarian affairs and protection, mainly in the field.”
