Fruitful engagement, exchange and reflections on #IHL with the National IHL Commission under the aegis of the Ministry of Justice & the Attorney General's Office. Many thanks to MinJus Undersecretary, Ms. Huwaida Ali Al-Karim for her support. Solid steps in the right direction.
We have conducted 2 workshops on IHL in Port Sudan. The first workshop with Sudan National Commission of IHL, the second with the attorneys of the Public Prosecution.
IHL protects persons who are not, or are no longer, directly or actively participating in hostilities.

In Zalingei, Central Darfur, where the @ICRC_Sudan and @SudaneseRedCres have been distributing food and essential household items to 24k recently displaced conflict-affected people. Kudos & thanks to the SRCS Central Darfur Branch for their commitment and spirit!
لقاء مثمر جداً مع سيادة الفريق أول عبد الفتاح البرهان، رئيس مجلس السيادة في السودان، بوجود قيادة @SRCS_SD
شدّدت الرئيسة سبولياريش على الحاجة إلى تعاون أوثق مع @ICRC_ar من أجل الوصول إلى كافة المجتمعات المتضررة بسبب النزاع المسلح وضرورة احترام القانون الدولي الانساني.
ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric is in Port #Sudan for a two-day visit focusing on respect for IHL to address the critical humanitarian situation faced by millions of Sudanese. @ICRC
Families, friends and colleagues are devastated.
They were humanitarians.
They were doing their job - preparing a needed distribution for communities affected by the ongoing conflict.
We condemn this attack in the strongest terms. @ICRC#Ukraine
"On our journey out of #Khartoum, we sought refuge in makeshift shelters amidst the debris to shield ourselves from the shelling," said Samah Al-Tayeb.
Samah is one of the 18,600 people displaced in Kassala State, who have been provided with the ICRC’s food and cash assistance.
In response to the essential needs of conflict-affected people in #Sudan.
The ICRC has started distributing food and cash assistance for 2,800 displaced families in Kassala, coming from the different states affected by the conflict.
The ICRC has donated five Land Cruisers to the Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH) in #Sudan.
These vehicles will contribute to enhancing the FMoH’s emergency response capabilities of first-aid services by serving as ambulances.
Today, the ICRC in Port Sudan donated six Land Cruisers to @SRCS_SD.
This contribution will enhance the humanitarian response capabilities of the Sudanese Red Crescent in this very challenging period. #Sudan
The ICRC continues its humanitarian efforts in #Sudan to help sick and wounded people affected by the ongoing conflict.
Today, the ICRC donated essential medical supplies to Bawaris Military Hospital in Port Sudan.
Shocking & unacceptable: an attack on an @ICRC humanitarian convoy in #Sudan has killed 2 people & injured 7 more, inc 3 ICRC staff members. This will have immeasurable impact not only on those killed & their loved ones, but on all those they were helping. https://t.co/x2YmccKDon
I’m shocked & appalled by the attack on our humanitarian convoy in #Sudan.
Sadly, it claimed the lives of two people and injured seven more including three @ICRC staff.
Civilians, including humanitarian workers & medical personnel, must be protected.

I’m shocked beyond belief… this attack on a humanitarian convoy claimed the lives of two people and injured seven more including three ICRC staff members!
The parties to the conflict must never target the Red Cross and Red Crescent emblems.

"Je suis à Gaza, où les souffrances de la population sont intolérables.
Je réitère notre appel pour que les civils soient protégés selon les lois de la guerre et que l'aide puisse entrer.
Les otages doivent être libérés et le @CICR_fr doit pouvoir les visiter." @ICRCPresident👇
