EU Condemns The Killing Of UN Humanitarian By Boko Haram
The European Union, EU, has condemned the killing of humanitarian workers in Rann, the headquarters of Kala Balge Local Government Area of Borno State on Thursday night by Boko Haram.
The union in a statement by its Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and
Crisis Management, Christos Stylianides described the attack and
killing of the humanitarian workers as senseless and a grave violation
of all humanitarian principles.
The statement reads “Right now, our thoughts are with families,
friends and organisations of all those affected and the most vulnerable
people aid workers strive to help in Nigeria.
“Humanitarian workers are not a target. Saving lives should not cost lives.
“At this difficult time, the European Union stands by the Nigerian
authorities and people. These attacks will never deter our commitment to
support those most in need in Nigeria”
The United Nations and other non-governmental humanitarian
organisations are working across the north-east of Nigeria to provide
aid, including food, safe water and medicine, to some 6.1 million people
in need in the region.
