New Delhi, March 31: With unrest escalating in several countries of the Middle East, the UN’s humanitarian agency says its efforts to deliver much-needed succour to the violence-affected people are being hindered by security problems and lack of access to several areas.
With over a month of civil and political unrest claiming several lives and displacing thousands of people in Libya, the UN agency says it is yet to get access to all areas, especially in the west of the country, and is hence yet to arrive at a comprehensive conclusion of the extent of the humanitarian intervention needed.
The UN Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Valerie Amos said her agency is still negotiating for access with the government to be able to send its teams to the affected regions of the west.
