The official condemned the attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure which may constitute violations on International Humanitarian Law.<\/p>\n

Kallon assured that the UN intend to resume operations as soon as possible, so that civilians affected by the conflict will continue to receive the assistance they need.<\/p>\n

Last weekend, the UN confirmed that three international aid partners\u2019 facilities were directly targeted and damaged.<\/p>\n

About 8,800 Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, and 76,000 people in the host community have been affected.<\/p>\n

The global body urged donors and stakeholders to support in funding the nine humanitarian hubs and the United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
