To ask His Majesty's Government what response they have made to the attack on Saudi Teaching Maternal Hospital in Al Fasher, North Darfur State, in Sudan on 24 January, and what part they are playing in bringing those responsible to justice.

The UK condemns the attack on the Saudi Hospital in El Fasher in the strongest terms. I have publicly denounced the attack, calling for the protection of civilians and for those responsible for crimes in Darfur to be held to account. The UK Special Representative to Sudan, Richard Crowder, has also condemned the attack alongside Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The UK strongly supports the International Criminal Court's active investigation into the situation in Darfur. This support has included the secondment of expert investigators to support the International Criminal Court's work in a number of countries, including Sudan.
