SOMALIA: UN Condemns Somali Warlords
Jan Egeland, the U.N. emergency relief coordinator, said in a statement:
At a time when people most need medical care and surgical attention, the occupation of Keysaney hospital by armed fighters constitutes a gross violation of international humanitarian law.
Mr. Egeland went on by saying:
The recent indiscriminate shelling in Mogadishu and spreading fighting in the environs of the capital have resulted in enormous human suffering.
Mr. Egeland concluded by saying:
This is a potential disaster area, at least from the humanitarian perspective, if it is not contained in the near future.
