Many of the victims are believed to be from the Darfur and Kordofan regions. \u201cThe Secretary-General reminds all warring parties in Sudan of their obligations under international law, especially in relation to the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure,\u201d said his Spokesperson St\u00e9phane Dujarric, briefing correspondents in New York. \u201cSudanese women, Sudanese children and Sudanese men are paying the price for the continued fighting by the belligerents,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Government troops have been battling their former allies-turned military rivals, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), for control of Sudan since April 2023. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker T\u00fcrk described the \u201csenseless\u201d war where alleged war crimes have been committed on both sides as having taken an \u201ceven more dangerous turn for civilians\u201d \u2013 as reports mount of brutal, ethnically targeted killings. Mr. T\u00fcrk\u2019s office, OHCHR, is working to corroborate these reports.<\/p>\n<p>Attacks on civilians continue across Sudan, Mr. Dujarric said. On Saturday, a strike on a crowded market in Omdurman reportedly killed at least 60 people and injured more than 150, according to UN humanitarians. Civilian casualties have also been reported in North Kordofan, as well as North and South Darfur. Aid coordination office, OCHA, has warned of rising fatalities, particularly following reported attacks on the Abu Shouk displacement camp, where famine conditions were identified in December.<\/p>\n<p>UN Humanitarian and Resident Coordinator in Sudan, Clementine Nkweta-Salami, condemned the indiscriminate attacks at the weekend, stating: \u201cThe deliberate targeting of civilian areas represents a blatant disregard for human life and the most basic principles of the laws of war. Such atrocities must cease immediately.\u201d The food crisis in Sudan is worsening, with reports confirming more than 70 hunger-related deaths \u2013 mostly among children \u2013 in Khartoum State, according to OCHA. In January alone, over 1,100 cases of severe malnutrition were recorded in three Omdurman neighbourhoods, underscoring the dire need for food assistance.<\/p>\n<p>Malnutrition rates are particularly high in areas where access restrictions have forced the closure of community kitchens, a critical lifeline for many families. \u201cWe stress once again the urgent need for increased funding and logistical support to sustain nutrition programmes and community kitchens, ensuring that the most vulnerable \u2013 especially children and older people \u2013 receive adequate food, nutrition and healthcare assistance,\u201d Mr. Dujarric said.<\/p>\n<p>As the humanitarian catastrophe worsens, the UN reiterates its call for all parties to protect civilians and facilitate access to life-saving aid. \u201cThe suffering of Sudanese civilians has gone on for too long,\u201d Ms. Nkweta-Salami said. \u201cIt\u2019s long past time to end this war and prevent further devastation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2025\/02\/1159721\">The UN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/sudan-un-chief-condemns-reported-executions-as-starvation-risks-rise\/\">Sudan: UN chief condemns reported executions as starvation risks rise<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[17820,3219,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-137214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-starvation-risks-rise","tag-sudan","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137214"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137214\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
