Noon briefing by Farhan Haq, Deputy Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: - Briefings Tomorrow - Sudan - Sudan/Humanitarian - Syria - Occupied Palestinian Territory - Central African Republic - Democratic Republic of the Congo - Afghanistan - Ukraine - Haiti - Haiti/Human Rights - Refugee - Senior Personnel Appointment - Jazz Day - Financial Contribution BRIEFINGS TOMORROW Tomorrow, our guest will be Marcoluigi Corsi, the Humanitarian and Resident Coordinator ad interim for Myanmar. He will join us virtually to brief on the one-month mark of the devastating earthquakes that hit Myanmar late last month. Then, at 1 p.m., there will be a briefing here by Evangelos Sekeris, the Permanent Representative of Greece to the United Nations and President of the Security Council for the month of May. He will discuss the Council’s programme for the month. SUDAN The Secretary-General is appalled by the increasingly catastrophic situation in Sudan’s North Darfur State, as deadly attacks continue on its capital, Al Fasher, which come just two weeks after an assault on the famine-stricken Zamzam and Abu Shouk displacement camps which reportedly killed hundreds of civilians, including humanitarian workers. With more than 400,000 people estimated to have been forced to flee the Zamzam camp alone earlier this month, the Secretary-General is deeply concerned by reports of harassment, intimidation and arbitrary detention of displaced people at checkpoints. Despite continuing insecurity and severe funding shortfalls, the UN and its humanitarian partners are doing what they can to urgently scale up emergency support in the Tawila area of North Darfur, which is hosting a majority of those displaced from Zamzam, and we just mentioned what we were doing in Tawila just a few minutes ago. The Secretary-General stresses that the scale of needs is overwhelming, with reports of desperate people – mostly women and children – crossing the border into Chad in search of safety and assistance. Violence against civilians also continues in other parts of Sudan, with reports of mass killings in Omdurman in Khartoum State in recent days. With the conflict now in its third year and increasingly destabilizing the broader region, the Secretary-General reiterates his call for the facilitation of safe and unhindered humanitarian access to all areas of need by all necessary routes, as well as for the protection of civilians, in line with the parties’ clear obligations under international humanitarian law. Perpetrators of serious violations must be held accountable. The Secretary-General renews his call for an immediate cessation of hostilities and urges the international community to act with urgency to help bring an end to the relentless suffering and destruction.

Play Video: Ukraine: attacks against civilians and diplomatic efforts - UN Security Council briefing | UN

UN chief of political affairs Rosemary DiCarlo condemned “all attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure, wherever they occur,” reiterating that “direct attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure is prohibited under international humanitarian law and must cease immediately.” The Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs told the Council that today’s meeting is taking place at a potential inflection point in the three-year war in Ukraine. She noted the intensified efforts to bring the parties to negotiations, which offer a glimmer of hope for progress towards a ceasefire and an eventual peaceful settlement. But at the same time, the world continues to witness relentless attacks on Ukrainian cities and towns. As of 24 April, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) had verified 151 civilians killed and 697 injured in April. With verification ongoing, this figure is expected to surpass the March figures, which were already 50 percent higher than in February, DiCarlo told the Council. Since February 2022, OHCHR has verified 13,015 civilians, including 699 children, killed, and 31,628 more civilians, including 2,016 children, injured, in Ukraine. She also noted recent media reports quoting local Russian authorities that indicate civilian casualties in the Kursk, Bryansk and Belgorod regions of the Russian Federation. The UN top political affairs official echoed the Secretary-General’s repeated calls for de-escalation and a durable ceasefire in Ukraine, and is encouraged by the diplomatic efforts underway. DiCarlo reiterated, “The UN remains engaged, particularly on the safety of navigation in the Black Sea to support global food security and maintain vital supply chains strained by the war.” She continued, “The continued exchange of prisoners of war between Ukraine and the Russian Federation, including the largest to date on 20 April involving 500 prisoners, shows that with political will, diplomacy can yield tangible results even in the most difficult circumstances.” As the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War approaches, the UN official reminded the Council – with even greater urgency – of the centrality of the Charter of the United Nations and international law in safeguarding peace and security. She said, “The Russian Federation’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine stands as an egregious challenge to these fundamental principles, jeopardizing stability in Europe and threatening the broader international order.” “The war in Ukraine is a war of choice,” DiCarlo stressed, adding that “what is needed now is a full, immediate and unconditional ceasefire as a critical first step towards ending the violence and creating the conditions for a just, comprehensive and sustainable peace.” For her part, senior OCHA official Joyce Msuya said that as the war continues, millions of lives are impacted daily, essential services are disrupted and humanitarian needs deepened. She highlighted, “Attacks on healthcare services and health facilities are crippling access to maternal care,” highlighting that pregnant women are now giving birth amid blackouts, medicine shortages and under attack, with a 12 per cent rise in birth complications reported by health workers. “For many expectant mothers, basic, life-saving care is simply no longer available,” Msuya said. The Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator emphasized once again, “Under international humanitarian law, civilians and civilian objects must be protected.” “This means that indiscriminate attacks are strictly prohibited. It also means that parties must take all feasible precautions to avoid civilian harm, whether they are launching attacks or defending against them,” Msuya stressed. The Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator also noted that underfunding is forcing critical programmes to scale down, even as the operational environment becomes more complex and dangerous. “Additional resources are needed now to save lives and sustain assistance,” she concluded.

Play Video: UN Chief in memory of His Holiness Pope Francis - General Assembly, 79th session | United Nations

On behalf of the UN family, Secretary-General António Guterres today (29 Apr) extended “deepest condolences to the Catholic community and to so many others around the world grieving this tremendous loss.” At a tribute ceremony at the General Assembly Hall, GA President Philémon Yang said, “to the faithful around the world, Pope Francis was more than the leader of the Catholic Church. He was a moral voice and a global conscience. With humility and courage, he championed the dignity of the marginalised, the poor and the voiceless.” Yang said, Pope Francis “reminded us that the pursuit of common good must guide all our actions, whether in politics, economics or diplomacy” and had “urged all nations to rise above self-interest, and to act in solidarity with future generations.” He said, “His Holiness never ceased to remind us that human dignity is a collective responsibility.” Guterres recalled that as a young man, “Pope Francis found his calling in the slums of Buenos Aires, where his dedication to serving the poor earned him the title Bishop of the Slums.” These early experiences, he said, “sharpened his conviction that faith must be an engine of action and change,” and “put that engine into overdrive as an unstoppable voice for social justice and equality. The Secretary-General said Pope Francis “stood with conviction for innocents caught in war zones such as Ukraine and Gaza.” He recalled that “every day without fail, precisely at 7:00 p.m., he would quietly call the Church of the Holy Family in Gaza City. As someone at the Church said, ‘He would ask us how we were, what did we eat, did we have clean water, was anyone injured?’ It was never diplomatic or a matter of obligation. It was the questions a father asks to their son.” The representative of the Holy See, Archbishop Gabriele Caccia told the General Assembly that “the best way we can commemorate Pope Francis today is to take that torch of hope and rediscover the spirit which 80 years ago created this organisation, so that together we can all work to end on a better world to the generations that will come after us.” For his part, Argentine Ambassador Fabián Oddone said, “Pope Francis was a spiritual leader whose passing humanity is mourning. He was also a beacon who illuminated the human dignity of which he was such a staunch defender, particularly that human dignity that shone through the eyes of those most forgotten, marginalised unborn children who suffered as a result of the scourge of abortion. Older people, who were the victims of carelessness when euthanasia was placed on the table as an option. Women who suffer trafficking and exploitation or children put up for sale as a result of surrogacy and those who suffer the denials of their freedom and thought and religion rights so threatened for so many victims of bombs dropped or attacks conducted on religious grounds throughout the world.” Pope Francis away on 21 April in Vatican City at the age of 88. The pontiff - born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in Buenos Aires, Argentina - was elected in March 2013. He was the first priest from the Americas region to lead the Catholic Church worldwide and a strong voice for social justice globally.

ODN Video: Dramatic Drone Footage Shows Destruction of Iranian Port After Explosion

Play Video: Dramatic Drone Footage Shows Destruction of Iranian Port After Explosion

New drone footage shows the extent of the damage done to the port of Bandar Abbas in Iran after a major explosion on Saturday. It caused at least 70 deaths and left more than 1,000 people injured. It’s thought the blast was caused by improper handling of hazardous chemicals identified in some reports as an ingredient in fuel for missiles. An intelligence firm said that video footage of unusual orange-brown smoke before the explosion suggested the presence of “solid fuel intended for use in Iranian ballistic missiles". While the sale of such chemicals to Iran is restricted under US sanctions there are reports that the Islamist regime imported it from China. Anger has mounted online in the country against the government, with many blaming the disaster on incompetence and poor safety standards. Iranian officials have launched an investigation into “shortcomings” at the port, but have consistently denied that the explosion was linked to the military.
