Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Aboul Gheit has condemned the attack on the Saudi hospital in El Fasher, Sudan, which claimed the lives of innocent civilians, describing it as a blatant violation of international and humanitarian law.
In a statement on Sunday, Aboul Gheit also denounced the arson of the Al-Jaili oil refinery north of Khartoum, labeling it a systematic attack on vital civilian infrastructure in Sudan.

According to SPA, he warned that such actions exacerbate the country’s dire economic conditions and deepen the suffering of its people.
Aboul Gheit stressed the importance of adhering to the guidelines set forth in the Jeddah Declaration for Ceasefire and Humanitarian Arrangements, which was signed in May 2023. This declaration calls for the safeguarding of public facilities—including medical centers, hospitals, and water and electricity infrastructure—and explicitly prohibits their use for military purposes.
