Productive conversation with @UNReliefChief Tom Fletcher as we continue working across many conflicts that continue to drive humanitarian crises. On Sudan, we discussed practical steps that we can take together to push for expanded humanitarian access and increased UN presence in Darfur and the Kordofans, as well as how we can work to build out mechanisms and processes for supporting humanitarian access and delivery, monitoring the humanitarian situation, promoting civilian protection, and facilitating the safe and voluntary returns of displaced persons. On DRC, we discussed the continued humanitarian access challenges arising from the ongoing conflict and the overlapping concerns arising from the Ebola outbreak. In the face of urgent humanitarian needs, assistance cannot wait, and I look forward to continuing to work closely with OCHA and other partners on these efforts.
