The truck was heading to Tawila, where 700,000 men, women, and children have sought safety after fleeing fighting in other parts of Sudan,\u201d he said. \u201cUNHCR will continue to work in Sudan to reach displaced people, including nearly nine million people displaced within the country\u2019s borders and more than 860,000 others who have crossed the borders to other countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The spokesperson added that on Saturday, a drone reportedly caused casualties in residential neighborhoods in El Obeid city in North Kordofan, with the local medical group Sudan Doctors Network confirming that seven people were killed and over 20 were injured.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are ordinary families in their homes, caught in violence that continues to reach civilian neighbourhoods. We condemn all of these attacks,\u201d he said. \u201cThe UN reiterates that civilian infrastructure must never be targeted, and civilians must never be targeted, and all parties must ensure rapid and unhindered humanitarian access.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, in Blue Nile, Dujarric said a recent assessment by UN partners has revealed a worsening humanitarian situation across displacement sites driven by overcrowding, the lack of privacy, inadequate shelter, poor sanitation, and escalating risks of gender-based violence, among others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for Sudan, Denise Brown, visited Damazine, the capital of Blue Nile State, last week, highlighting how funding gaps, insecurity, and access constraints continue to limit the ability of aid organizations to scale up their response,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">South-Sudan<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
