Relief operations proceeding normally

    NAIROBI

    Relief operations in Sudan have been proceeding normally since the decision to resume relief flights on 16 August, UN officials told IRIN on Monday. The UN suspended the flights on 8 August after bombing raids in which the property of some humanitarian organisations was damaged.

    “We are operating normally in Sudan again,” said a representative of the relief consortium, Operation Lifeline Sudan (OLS). In a separate statement at the weekend, WFP said it had received “adequate assurances” on the security of UN property and personnel. “It is hoped that the security situation will allow continuous relief operations,” the statement said.
