PHILIPPINES: SENIOR UN OFFICIAL CALLS FOR END TO VIOLENCE, URGES
OPENING OF HUMANITARIAN CORRIDORNew York, Sep 13 2013 1:00PMA senior
United Nations official in the Philippines, on behalf of the UN
humanitarian team and its partners, today called for an immediate end
to the latest violence and said the team is ready to support the
Government in delivering humanitarian aid to people affected by the
armed clashes.

In a <"http://reliefweb.int/report/philippines/statement-humanitarian-coordinator-philippines">statement
released today from Manila, Humanitarian Coordinator Luiza Carvalho
also appealed for the "safe passage of civilians caught in the
crossfire".

Armed clashes, which erupted on Monday between Government forces and
non-State actors caused more than 16,000 people to seek refuge in 20
evacuation centres across Zamboanga City, the UN Office for the
Coordination of Humanitarian Aid (OCHA) said.

An estimated 136,000 people are affected by violence, including an
unknown number trapped in coastal villages unable to reach evacuation
centres in the city, the UN's relief arm said.

Five people have died in the fighting so far, including four
civilians, and 37 people are injured, according to cited figures.

All schools and almost all shops are closed, with only essential
Government offices open. A curfew is in place from 2000hrs to 0500hrs.

"I urge all parties involved to respect and protect the rights of the
civilian population, provide special attention to women and children
and avoid unnecessary human suffering by reaching agreement to end the
standoff," Ms. Carvalho urged.

The UN has said it is ready to support Government efforts to provide
humanitarian assistance and to alleviate the humanitarian needs of the
civilian population affected by the armed clashes in the City of
Zamboanga.

The Government and humanitarian partners have provided food packs,
tents and non-food items and a mobile storage unit. An emergency
hospital facility was established by the Government for the
displaced.Sep 13 2013 1:00PM
