| Humanitarian Access and Coverage as of 22 September 2011 Tue, 27 Sep 2011 06:59:17 +0000 Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Access constraints, particularly in southern Somalia, play a large role in the ability of humanitarian partners to deliver services. Non-state armed groups continue to vet organizations coming to the area, and have banned some organizations. Scaling up the aid system within Somalia in recent months has led to improvements in the numbers of people being reached with life-saving assistance. However, the level of humanitarian assistance in southern Somalia continues to be inadequate. Country: Somalia  |
