“The fighting must stop. We urgently need a humanitarian pause. The scores of people who’ve been killed is high and hundreds have been injured. As the fighting continues in densely populated areas, we worry that the toll will climb. People must be able to have access to food, fuel and other critical supplies and services for their families.”

“The humanitarian operation has [been] severely hampered. Fighting and attacks on airports and other critical humanitarian assets have made the humanitarian operations virtually impossible. Warehouses, vehicles, and other humanitarian assets have been attacked, looted, or seized. Health services, already precarious, could be further pushed to the brink.”

There is still, before this crisis, 3.7 million people who are internally displaced, mostly In Darfur. We are also concerned about reports of sexual harassment and violence.
