Sudan’s Humanitarian Aid Commissioner (HAC), Salwa Adam, has expressed her dismay over the silence of the international community and its organizations vis-a-vis the violations and siege imposed by the Rapid Support Forces militia on the cities of El Fasher in North Darfur, and Dilling and Kadugli in South Kordofan.

In a meeting on Sunday with the Assistant Executive Director of the World Food Programme, Valeri Guarnieri, the Sudanese official has stated that the Sudanese government has been committed to protecting civilians and delivering humanitarian aid to all those in need in all Sudanese states.

HAC Commissioner also spoke about violations related to the looting of UN humanitarian convoys, particularly the looting of a WFP convoy in the Al-Koma area a few months ago.

She emphasized that the priority in the coming period for the liberated states is to rebuild what was destroyed by the war, including digging wells and rehabilitating hospitals, health and education facilities, and livelihood projects.

The Commissioner has stressed the need for urgent and rapid intervention in El Fasher, Dilling, and Kadugli, given the critical humanitarian conditions resulting from the siege imposed on these cities. She called on the United Nations and its organizations to assume their humanitarian and moral responsibilities.

For her part, Valerie commended the Sudanese government for the warm welcome and facilitation of entry procedures, including visa issuance and movement permits.

She affirmed the programme would continue delivering humanitarian assistance to all those in need in Sudan and its commitment to further efforts to reach Kadugli, Dilling, and El Fasher. She indicated the need to attract more donor support to carry out the required humanitarian interventions in Sudan.
