“The Secretary-General strongly condemns the looting of the main compound of the World Food Programme in Khartoum over the weekend. This is the latest violation of humanitarian facilities since the start of the crisis, which is in its fourth week. Most, if not all, United Nations agencies and our humanitarian partners have been impacted by large-scale looting. The Secretary-General reiterates the need for parties to protect and respect humanitarian workers and facilities, including hospitals. Civilians and civilian infrastructure must be protected in order to save lives. The needs of the Sudanese people, who are caught up in a humanitarian catastrophe, must come first.”

On 5 May, 30 tonnes of medical supplies were delivered to Port Sudan by the World Health Organization, together with the United Arab Emirates. The shipment contained enough trauma, essential medicine and emergency surgical items to reach 165,000 people via 13 major health facilities.
