However, because of adverse weather and dangerous conditions, the operation was scarcely stepped up despite the increase in the number of displaced people in the Narus area (20,000 by the end of June).

Humanitarian Work

In July and August the ICRC continued its attempts to implement an aid programme for the victims of the conflict situation in southern Sudan. An ICRC team went to Wau on 31 July to organize an airlift. Forty tonnes of relief supplies were transported on board three flights from Entebbe (Uganda) to Wau on 14 and 15 August; on the second of these two days the flights were suspended because of threats from the SPLA to shoot down any aircraft flying over the territories controlled by its troops without its authorization. The 40 tonnes of relief supplies which got through before the blockade were distributed between 19 and 22 August to starving people living in the camps for displaced people. Since the airlift was interrupted, the ICRC has made numerous approaches to the parties to the conflict, particularly the SPLA, in order to be allowed to recommence its humanitarian work.

The ICRC delegate general for Africa, Mr. Jean-Marc Bornet, went on mission to Angola from 7 to 17 July to re-assess the ICRC assistance programme in the centre and south of the country, and especially the danger it involved. The reason for this was that a series of incidents (abductions, mine explosions during the passage of relief convoys, explosions at the Bomba Alta orthopaedic centre) have compelled the ICRC to limit its delegates' movements and have impeded activities on behalf of the displaced civilian population, the victims of events.

At the end of September new security problems arose, compelling the ICRC delegation in Angola temporarily to suspend its activities on the Planalto. In the night of 24 to 25 September the ICRC premises in Katchiungo (Huambo province), where fortunately no one was present at the time, were attacked and ransacked. After this incident the delegate general for Africa, Mr. J. M. Bornet, went to Angola from 29 September to 7 October to reexamine the situation with the delegation and to discuss with the authorities. At the end of October, the danger in the field had not diminished and continued to prevent a resumption of activities.
