诚然，该局势在安全与人道主义方面令人极为担忧。最近数月来，我们看到了持续、甚至日益严重的暴力。其主要受害者是平民，其中大多数人成为暴力行为的直接目标。数百万人的生计依赖国际援助，然而运送人道主义援助所需的安全条件继续恶化。接触那些需要援助者正变得愈来愈受到限制，如果安全局势继续恶化，达尔富尔的大多数人道主义行动将受到威胁。
Indeed, in security and humanitarian terms, that situation is extremely worrisome. Over recent months we have seen continued and even growing violence. Its primary victims are civilians, a great number of whom are the direct targets of atrocities. Millions depend on international assistance for their subsistence. Yet the security conditions in which humanitarian aid is delivered continue to deteriorate. Access to those needing assistance is becoming more limited, and if the deterioration of the security situation continues, most humanitarian operations in Darfur will be threatened.
