"UNAMID condemns all actions of violence and calls upon all parties to cease hostilities with immediate effect and resort to dialogue," said a press statement signed by Noureddine Mezni, the spokesperson of the joint mission.
UNAMID also condemned air strikes carried out by the Sudanese army in Tor area, western Jebel Marra on Thursday, April 10.
The SLA, led by Abdelwahid al-Nur, reported that army Antonov planes and helicopters bombed Tor and Triniti, claiming the army attacked civilians in four villages in the area.
Humanitarian access has never been more restricted. It is estimated that in all of Darfur some 2 million people are out of reach of humanitarian access. In many camps 30% of the population is suffering from acute malnutrition. Soon the rainy season will begin when road travel in Darfur and eastern Chad will range from extremely difficult to impossible. Dry river beds (wadis) will fill and roads will become mud. Today, in South Darfur, many trucks carrying crucial food and medical supplies are stuck in the road about 87 kilometers from Nyala. The population and aid workers have been anticipating Government attacks in Jebel Marra. International humanitarian organizations have been unable to reach this area where more than 165,000 displaced people are stranded.
