3. SOUNDBITE (English) Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General, United Nations:
“And just a bit more about the situation on the ground in the capital of North Kordofan State, we have seen further reports of drone attacks overnight and for now, the area remains accessible. Our humanitarian colleagues and their partners are focusing on moving food and other supplies into the city, while preparing for the potential movement of large numbers of people in the immediate area. And for those who have been asking about our presence in El Obeid, I can tell you that we do not have a permanent presence in the city. However, despite access constraints, our humanitarian partners are still working on the ground, staying and delivering with WFP and others, to move more assistance there to help residents in an area that hosts more than 100,000 displaced human beings.”
