Humanitarian Crisis in Sudan: Discussion
3:15 pm
Ms Jane-Ann McKenna:
There are a couple of points we might come back to. On the violations of international humanitarian law and human rights law, it is very clear that is very much happening in Darfur and other parts of Sudan. We might take, for example, the destruction of health facilities. In parts of Darfur, 80% of the health facilities have been destroyed. Primarily, it is civilians and health workers who are being attacked. I know Mr. Regan particularly wants to come back to the protection of staff in those situations.
