France on Friday condemned "in the strongest terms" an attack on an International Committee of the Red Cross convoy in war-torn Sudan that killed two staff and injured three others.
"France calls on all parties to the ="https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2000103738/standard-digital">conflict to respect their< obligations under international humanitarian law, which obliges them to protect humanitarian and health staff and guarantee complete, safe and unhindered humanitarian access," said French foreign ministry spokesman Christophe Lemoine.
The ICRC said gunmen killed two drivers and injured three staff in South Darfur on Thursday as they returned from a humanitarian mission.
