Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Albudaiwi has strongly condemned the recent attack on a Saudi hospital in Sudan’s El Fasher, which resulted in multiple casualties.

He emphasized that this flagrant attack constitutes a serious violation of international laws, treaties, and UN resolutions, all of which call for the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure, including healthcare facilities.

He also underscored the urgent need to provide full protection for medical personnel and healthcare facilities in Sudan, ensuring they can carry out their humanitarian duties, particularly in light of the grave challenges faced by the Sudanese people.

Albudaiwi highlighted the importance of adhering to international humanitarian law and called for holding accountable those responsible for violations that endanger innocent lives and hinder humanitarian efforts.
