Aid workers ‘cannot access’ many areas of war-battered Sudan: Red Cross
PORT SUDAN: Large parts of war-torn Sudan are inaccessible to aid workers, a Red Cross official said Wednesday as devastating fighting between the army and paramilitaries rages on. “There are plenty of areas we cannot access, sometimes because they are very dangerous, and sometimes we do not receive permission,” said Pierre Dorbes, a representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). “Improving access will help millions of people,” Dorbes told journalists in Port Sudan, the Red Sea city where the army, government and UN agencies are now based.
