NEW YORK, Dec 19: The top United Nations humanitarian relief official on Monday pleaded for the Security Council to take urgent political and security measures to stem crises resurgent in Sudan’s Darfur, Zimbabwe and other parts of Africa.
“Humanitarian aid cannot be an alibi for unwillingness to address the root causes of the conflict,” said Jan Egeland, UN Relief Coordinator. “The greatest contribution we can make to addressing humanitarian crises in Africa is determined, energetic and sustained efforts to bring an end to conflict and injustice that cause so much suffering in Africa.”
