UN's response "negatively impacted" by insecurity

    NAIROBI

Fighting in the region has resulted in greater insecurity, with the exception of Rwanda "which has attained a fragile security over the last year". Affected populations now number almost two million. Changing security environments have "negatively impacted" the rapidity of the UN's response, and the distribution of food and non-food items in the region has been "uneven", the report noted.
