A representative from the World Health Organization Tuesday warned that the presence of fighters in a health lab in Sudan could pose a major “biological risk,” amid fears that an ongoing power struggle between the country’s army and main paramilitary force could spiral into a deadly civil war.
Nima Saeed Abid, the WHO's representative in Sudan, told reporters that some fighters have occupied the National Public Health Laboratory in the capital city of Khartoum which holds samples of various pathogens including measles and polio, the AFP reported.
Calling it an “extremely, extremely dangerous” situation, Abid warned there is a “huge biological risk associated with the occupation.”
Technicians at the lab were kicked out by the occupying force, Abid noted, adding that the building also contains blood supplies, Reuters reported.
The WHO representative expressed concern that the technicians don’t have access to go back into the lab and safely remove the dangerous biological material.
