§ Mr. Lennox-BoydInformation provided by Operation Lifeline Sudan indicates that a number of agencies have 685W been affected by the fighting. World Vision has reduced numbers in Thiet; GOAL and AICF have taken people out of Ame, Aswa and Atepi camps, as has IRC; and AAIN has been forced to reduce its staff in Maridi and evacuate its staff from Mundri, as has Oxfam from Mundri.
