Several areas remain closed to OLS agencies

Several locations in Bahr el Ghazal and Upper Nile have remained closed to Operation Lifeline Sudan (OLS) agencies due to continued insecurity. An OLS statement said Thiek and Thou were still "no go" areas while Ajak, Tieraliet, Wuncum, Mayom Akol and Wargong in Bahr el Ghazal had been evacuated due to "tension and insecurity that often accompanies the government of Sudan supply train [between Khartoum and Bahr el Gahzal]". OLS said about nine locations in the Upper Nile were also "no go" areas because of inter-factional fighting and denial of flight clearance by the government to some areas.
