Darfur: Displaced people continue to languish in camps unprotected from violent attacks and are increasingly cut off from humanitarian assistance; humanitarian workers have become easy targets of all sides (attacks by rebel groups, armed militias, and bandits, expulsions by government, resource-draining bureaucratic impediments) ("Humanitarian Action Still Under Fire in Darfur") [ID 21832]

Denial of humanitarian access in Darfur (July 2006 - July 2007) ("Report of the Secretary-General on children and armed conflict in the Sudan [S/2007/520]") [ID 21613]

"The insecurity and lawlessness prevailing in many areas of Darfur is seriously hampering humanitarian action.

On 13 September 2006, armed men abducted a United Nations agency truck loaded with commodities near Abdel Shakour, in Northern Darfur. The driver and truck were released two days later.

Parties to the conflict are failing to address the consistent targeting and hijacking of the vehicles of humanitarian agencies in Darfur.

Such attacks bear considerable consequences for children."

Denial of humanitarian access in Southern Sudan (July 2006 - July 2007) ("Report of the Secretary-General on children and armed conflict in the Sudan [S/2007/520]") [ID 21614]

"There were several incidents hampering humanitarian action in Southern Sudan.

For instance, in an incident on 14 September 2006, 25 SPLA soldiers engaged in the ongoing disarmament campaign forced their way into the compound of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Rumbek. The guards were beaten and threatened.

On 12 February 2007, a World Food Programme (WFP) truck on its way back from distributing food to the hospital 2 kilometres north of Billing was stopped and staff were harassed by SPLA soldiers.

Generally, access is also denied to areas held by the Lord's Resistance Army."

Denial of humanitarian access in Eastern Sudan (July 2006 - July 2007) ("Report of the Secretary-General on children and armed conflict in the Sudan [S/2007/520]") [ID 21615]

"The last quarter of the reporting period showed improvement of humanitarian access in the states of Eastern Sudan, including Kassala State.

This allowed for the initiation of a dialogue and preparations for a children's disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programme by UNICEF, in collaboration with the Northern Sudan Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration Commission and the Eastern Front, which has begun together with other child protection programmes.

However, there are still instances of denial of access in Eastern Sudan."
