09 May 2011 - An inter-agency assessment mission led by OCHA, with the participation of UNAMID, has recently visited Kalma internally displaced persons (IDP) camp, located near Nyala, South Darfur, to verify media reports on an alleged shortage of water, medicines and food. The mission found that the humanitarian situation in the camp was generally stable except for the inadequacy of water supply in some areas. This issue is being addressed by relevant agencies.
