She said Humanitarian Groups were seeking ways of getting food, water and medicals across to people.
“She therefore appealed to the fighting Parties to consider the Juba Peace Agreement enunciated by Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), as fundamental mechanism for the restoration of peace and tranquility in the country.”
Nigerians trapped in the ongoing crisis in Sudan have been begging to be evacuated.
