Negotiations are underway on the security and logistics for a UN assessment mission to the Nuba mountains. A UN official told IRIN that both the government and SPLA have agreed to the visit, and he expected the mission to “take place shortly”. Meanwhile, the UN Special Envoy for Humanitarian Affairs for Sudan, Tom Vraalsen, has reportedly called on both parties to adhere to the agreements signed in Rome in November on increasing humanitarian access to the needy. The access agreement focuses on cross line relief deliveries by road from Lokichogio to Kapweta, and by rail from Babanusa to Wau.
