The UN Assistance Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) continues the relocation of non-essential staff for a second day.

UNAMID is flying out non-essential staff following months of worsening security despite assurances from Sudan that it would protect peacekeepers.

Josephine Guerrero is Spokesperson for UNAMID:

"Thirty-two people left for Entebbe last night and 103 people left today also for Entebbe. There's also a scheduled flight for relocation within Sudan - they are not leaving the country - later today. But that's still to be confirmed."

The numbers leaving are just a fraction of the nearly 10,000 UNAMID staff deployed in the war-torn western region of Sudan.

This is Donn Bobb reporting for United Nations Radio.
