Sudan’s senior official disclosed on Sunday that three staff of the Sudanese Red Crescent were killed in an attack in Blue Nile state
Ahmad Mohammed Adam, a senior official of the Humanitarian Affairs Commission, condemned the attack, which he said "led to the death of three humanitarian workers from the Sudanese Red Crescent Society in Blue Nile state".
The attack happened as the Red Crescent staff were returning from the town of Kurmuk after distributing "humanitarian aid to the needy in the area," he said in a statement.
"I call on the armed movements to respect international humanitarian law and the principle of protecting emergency and aid distribution workers," said Mr Adam.
The town of Kurmuk lies on Sudan's southeastern border with Ethiopia.
The Sudanese government has limited the activities of international relief organisations in areas controlled by the SPLM-N in Blue Nile and South Kordofan states since the insurgency erupted in 2011.
