The UN top official expressed his outrage at the burning and damage of several aid agencies and a hospital<\/p>\n

Kallon said he was concerned about the safety of civilians in Dikwa, including internally displaced people inside and outside camps and thousands of people who recently returned to rebuild their lives after years of displacement.<\/p>\n

Kallon noted that the latest attacks will affect the support provided to nearly 100,000 people desperately in need of humanitarian assistance and protection, particularly as the COVID-19 pandemic risks spreading in Borno State.<\/p>\n

\u201cCivilians and aid workers, their facilities and assets should never be a target. They must be protected and respected at all times.\u201d<\/p>\n

The UN called on all armed parties to immediately stop the violence and respect international humanitarian law and human rights law, and ensure the protection of civilians, humanitarian property and personnel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
