South Darfur authorities have officially lifted restriction on the movement of aid workers in the state. UNAMID is currently providing escorts for several humanitarian convoys from Nyala to Kass, El Dain and Khor Abeche.

Restrictions on operations of all humanitarian actors in the state beyond a 15-kilometer radius of Nyala have been in place since 17 May by authorities citing ongoing military operations and security threats. Several metric tons of aid are to be delivered in the coming days.
