Rodolphe Adada, joint representative of the United Nations-African Union mission (UNAMID), "concurred with the report on its major findings, especially the critical shortages UNAMID continues to face in the area of troops, personnel, equipment and logistics," a statement said.
A report by the Darfur Consortium, a coalition of more than 40 aid groups operating in Africa, said that six months after its initial deployment on December 31, UNAMID had "failed to provide adequate protection."
In the first six months, violence has displaced an average of 1,000 people a day and attacks against humanitarian agencies have escalated, said the report released earlier on Monday.
Despite its lack of equipment and personnel, UN peacekeepers in Darfur can and must do far more to protect civilians in the war-torn Sudanese region, with UNAMID "in danger of becoming the world's latest broken promise," it said.
