In North Darfur humanitarian actions have been hampered during the last weeks due to increased hostilities but especially due to violence against humanitarian workers. On January 3rd, government forces attacked the SLA bastion of Salah. An assessment conducted by ICRC around Sayah, showed that the main health problems people are facing there are respiratory infections, diarrhoea, rheumatism and malaria. The polio vaccination campaign in North Darfur proceeded without noteworthy incidents. According to FEWS the region is extremely food insecure.
