I welcome Ms Wahlström and thank her for the very valuable contribution she has made to date and which she will, doubtless, continue to make. My question relates to high-risk areas in particular. I was in Chad and the Sudanese border area in 2008. At that time there were over 500,000 people in refugee camps. In terms of bringing in food, the choice was to bring it through Libya to the north, Cameroon to the west or Sudan to the east. Some of the camps were 2,500 km away from the nearest port. At the time of my visit in March 2008, an estimated 53,000 tonnes of food had to be moved in between then and the start of June. Has the UN identified particular areas where access is a problem? Are plans in place to deal with areas where access is very restricted and where response times could be far longer than appropriate? Have areas like that around the world been identified as part of the UN's risk management plan?
