The spokesperson said the secretary-general is scheduled to meet Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, attend a dinner hosted by the Danish king and queen, and engage with UN staff and Danish media while in Copenhagen.

Chief executives attending the biannual CEB session are expected to reflect on current world affairs, deliberations on adapting to new realities, and leveraging the UN80 initiative. The spokesperson said the CEB would discuss the UN80 (sometimes presented as UNAD/UN80 in internal briefings) initiative during the coming week and that updates would follow as the initiative proceeds; Guy Ryder of the Executive Office was named as presiding over the initiative work.

Separately, the secretary-general appointed Maria Angela Holguin Cuellar of Colombia as his personal envoy on Cyprus. The spokesperson said the Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot leaders welcomed the reappointment and that she is expected to visit Cyprus in the coming weeks to engage on next steps following an informal meeting in Geneva in March.

Ending: The secretary-general is expected back in New York on Friday evening; the briefing said no additional information about participation in a separate climate ministerial in Copenhagen was available at the time.

The spokesperson said the town’s population fled, aid teams withdrew staff, and patients were relocated while the UN airlifted essential medical supplies to replenish stocks.

The briefing listed similar attacks on health facilities in other parts of the country, including Ulang and Nasir, and said local sources reported another aerial bombardment in the city of Fangak; casualty figures for that more recent strike were still being assessed at the time of the briefing. The UN humanitarian coordinator for South Sudan was quoted as deploring the airstrike and calling for an end to the fighting, which the briefing said had displaced more than 30,000 people from Nasir, Ulang and Fangak counties in the prior two months.

The spokesperson said the South Sudan 2025 humanitarian needs and response plan calls for $1,700,000,000 to help 5,400,000 people, more than half of whom are children, and that the appeal was 16% funded with about $270,000,000 received to date. The UN called for safe access for humanitarian teams and supplies. Ending: The UN urged an immediate end to hostilities and safe humanitarian access so medical care and other assistance can resume in affected areas.

The spokesperson said the strikes were reportedly carried out by the Rapid Support Forces and appear to be part of a pattern of retaliatory operations between the Rapid Support Forces and the Sudanese Armed Forces.

The UN spokesperson said these strikes “threaten the protection of civilians and humanitarian operations in an area so far spared from experiencing the devastating conflict seen in many other parts of the country.” None of the UN offices, premises or warehouses in Port Sudan have been impacted so far, the spokesperson said, but UN humanitarian air service flights to and from Port Sudan have been temporarily put on hold while OCHA assesses the situation and the impact on the UN’s ability to move supplies and staff.

The briefing did not report a firm timeline for resuming humanitarian aviation or provide operational contingencies beyond continued assessment by OCHA. Ending: The UN called for urgent dialogue between parties to prevent further escalation and to protect civilians and humanitarian operations in Sudan.

","The UN said recent drone strikes near Port Sudan Airport, reportedly by the Rapid Support Forces, threaten civilian protection and have led to a temporary pause in some humanitarian air services while the situation is assessed.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":56,"_72":56,"_73":56},6568789,"UN says Gaza blockade, distribution plan risk leaving large parts without aid; urges immediate lifting",741,350000,1091000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3193858-3dd69954c9071ec8ba08ab60f1e2f3a2&start=350&end=1091","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3193858-3dd69954c9071ec8ba08ab60f1e2f3a2/thumbnail_350000.jpg","/articles/6568789/UN-says-Gaza-blockade-distribution-plan-risk-leaving-large-parts-without-aid-urges-immediate-lifting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6568789-8df2c18f557462674989523fb0b89081/orig.mp4?Expires=1770762262&Signature=Fp5QxPNnRXnqbPR105h9BX5q1FnbpMneOdyFjiKRXeb4bdumzS8Sqe-Nm00NlufuZJh-EaXU5-5A2tDYZYLGSbCxPEWzSxxVUvK-Z6UA8JnKvNvXmOwWMyHR4Egi20T4KBKxb7MEFqnM60oxGAYcHWmMMwyD~5Wgbd9Im1RBn1EWc4rgMZE~~aiWggN-dqJL9oqHiBhr2XAM0mcwKrsC3i1FOCnbZeff5QZM68rvKhXh00oRXZsLS0q0IYcf8x8ZL1DHyENNVTmnTO7x-1o~dHy-ZiVQlnef9O4cB9wKVcP468Gx2CF-rPkH2TYqk1kudhZA1UQx0mDS-XFmZaWHZQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The United Nations told reporters that a plan presented by Israeli authorities for distributing aid in Gaza would leave “large parts of Gaza, including the less mobile and more vulnerable people, … without supplies,” and that the UN humanitarian country team “will not participate in any scheme that does not adhere to the global humanitarian principles of humanity, impartiality, independence, and neutrality.”

The UN spokesperson said Israeli authorities have blocked all supplies from entering Gaza for nine weeks and that bakeries and community kitchens have shut, warehouses stand empty and children have gone hungry. The spokesperson added that the design of the plan “appears designed to reinforce control over life sustaining items as a pressure tactic as part of a military strategy.”

UN humanitarian operations in Gaza have reported daily incidents of robbery and looting, including attempts targeting UN warehouses. Where security can be maintained, guards have in some cases prevented looting, but many facilities were already emptied after more than two months of blockade. The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has warned that air strikes and other attacks continue across the Gaza Strip and that water and sanitation systems have failed where fuel is not available.

The spokesperson said a major water line from Israel was damaged last week, cutting northern Gaza's supply by half; repair teams worked with Israeli authorities to restore part of the supply. UN teams were able to retrieve some fuel from a station in Gaza City after facilitation by Israeli authorities, but much fuel remains inaccessible because Israeli authorities have denied access to other areas, including Rafah, where no retrieval attempts have been facilitated since April 18. The lack of fuel has degraded water pumping, sewage treatment and life-saving hospital services including intensive care units and ambulances.

Humanitarian aviation has also been affected: UN humanitarian air service flights to and from Port Sudan were temporarily put on hold, and the spokesperson said OCHA will continue to assess impacts on the UN’s ability to bring supplies and staff into areas across the region. The spokesperson said the UN and its partners are ready to scale up deliveries “as soon as the blockade is lifted.”

The UN statement and humanitarian country team comments were read by the UN spokesperson during a press briefing and reflect the organization's current public position; the briefing did not record any formal agreement from Israeli authorities on changes to allow the UN to operate under the stated humanitarian principles.

Ending: The UN said it remains prepared to deliver aid at scale if corridors and procedures can be established that preserve humanitarian principles, and reiterated calls for an immediate ceasefire and the unconditional release of hostages.

","The United Nations reiterated that an Israeli plan for aid distribution in Gaza would violate humanitarian principles and warned that weeks-long restrictions have depleted supplies, interrupted water and fuel services and increased looting of warehouses.","actionData","errors"]
