WHO spokesperson Margaret Harris said in a UN press conference that according to the figures of the Sudan government, 413 people have died and 3 thousand 551 have been injured in the conflict. Clashes continue between the country’s army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
He said that since April 15, there has been information about authentic attacks on 11 including attacks on 10 health facilities. Harris said, “According to the Ministry of Health of Sudan, 20 health facilities have stopped functioning, 12 health facilities are at risk of closure.”
According to the report of Anadolu, the WHO spokesperson said, ‘In this terrible battle, all those people who need to be taken care of are not only those people whose hearing is affected, but also those who need treatment. There is a need to continue the treatment first.
At the same press conference, UNICEF spokesman James Elder said, ‘Clearly, as always, fighting has a devastating effect on children.
He said, ‘We have so far come to know about the death of 9 children and at least 50 children have been injured. If the fight goes on for a long time then these numbers will increase.
According to the report of Anadolu, Elder said, a large number of people are trapped and they are not getting electricity.
He said, “They are facing the crisis of shortage of food, water and medicines.” He further said, “One of our serious concerns is about the hospitals which have come under fire.”
Elder said Sudan already has one of the highest levels of child malnutrition in the world. UNICEF spokesperson said, “We are finding a situation where it has become difficult to save the lives of about 50,000 children.”
