OCHA/Côte d'Ivoire update
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian
Affairs reports that a small number of UN humanitarian staff returned to
Abidjan yesterday.
Today, more UN humanitarian staff or
those working on emergency-related programmes are scheduled to return.
If conditions permit, rapid assessment missions will be conducted to various
areas, including Guiglo and Bouake.
The UN relocated most of its staff to Accra on November 10th, due to the seriousness of the situation in Abidjan and other parts of the country.
OCHA says the return of the staff will allow the resumption of humanitarian operations in all parts of the country - although there are still serious concerns that the crisis could worsen."
