UN agency accuses paramilitary forces of obstructing aid delivery in W. Sudan

Khartoum, Feb. 10 (UNI) A United Nations agency on Monday accused the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of hindering delivery of humanitarian aid to the needy, particularly in the Darfur region in western Sudan.
"The persistent restrictions and bureaucratic hurdles imposed by the Sudanese Agency for Relief and Humanitarian Operations (SARHO), an affiliate of the RSF, are preventing life-saving assistance from reaching those in desperate need," the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in a statement.
Despite repeated commitments made by the SARHO, humanitarian actors continue to face obstruction, undue interference, and operational restrictions that contravene international humanitarian law and the obligations outlined in the Jeddah Declaration of Commitment to Protect the Civilians of Sudan, it said.
