Mr. Franz Rauchenstein:

The first question is also a very pertinent one now. Much of the effort being made by the international community is on the implementation of this peace agreement. What is the risk? The risk is that the humanitarian needs that need to be immediately addressed will be forgotten and that people will die of hunger or illness if this humanitarian access, which is especially challenging in the greater upper Nile, is not addressed. In that sense, I think, the international community has to do more. It is done also by certain actors on the ground but more has to be done. We have always insisted that the UN peace-keeping forces go out of their bases and also deploy in opposition-held areas. Recently there has been a long-term patrol by the UN taking place in Unity. That was welcomed in the following weeks. Another temporary operating base in Unity is planned, which is also something that is welcomed by the ICRC and other humanitarian actors because it might calm down the situation in those very sensitive areas. It is very clear that this should be done on a wider scale.
