Ongoing conflict has prevented them from planting and they may continue to rely on emergency food assistance that humanitarian agencies have been providing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Amos &#8211; who urged all sides to the conflict to allow aid to be brought in &#8211; stressed that if humanitarian agencies continue to be denied access, &#8220;they will not be able to take stock of the remaining humanitarian supplies nor assess how much is necessary in order to respond to the needs of vulnerable civilians.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211;
