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.
