Khartoum - JERUSALEM - The United Nations announced Thursday that aid workers have seen the tragic conditions in the city of Mount "Once," which was inaccessible for them for three years in the troubled Darfur region of western Sudan.



The United Nations said that the Sudanese government was blocking access to the area of "Jebel Marra" in central Darfur, where the rebellion began eleven years ago.



The United Nations confirmed that for the first time since August 2011, the Sudanese authorities have allowed aid workers to assess the situation in the city, "Golo" Jebel Marra in the period of twenty-ninth of June to the first July / July



He said the UN Office for Humanitarian Affairs in Sudan (OCHA) published in the weekly "Mission found appalling humanitarian are conditions in the city."



He was only allowed the International Committee of the Red Cross to work in the Jebel Marra, but its activities were suspended at the request of the Sudanese government since the first of February last.



She said Usha, "according to the initial assessment of the mission, the health services in the city are not working since the suspension of the activities of the Red Cross,



The mission found that 50 percent of the city's residents do not have sanitation services also ceased operations hygiene and garbage collection activity since the suspension of the Red Cross. "



The United Nations estimates the number of people displaced by the conflict in the Jebel Marra about one hundred thousand people.



Relief workers are still unable to access to other areas of the region to assess the situation there.



The Red Cross said last May that the suspension of its activities in Sudan has had a significant impact on the situation of people with the intensification of the armed conflict. Authorities have accused Sudan Geneva-based organization of violating the rules of the Sudanese humanitarian work.



And non-suspension of the Red Cross prohibits the Sudanese authorities on international aid workers access to several regions in the country at a time when aid agencies are struggling to meet the needs of six million people in Darfur and other areas.
