LA MISIÓN HUMANITARIA 3. Continúan los progresos hacia el logro de los objetivos de superar la fase de emergencia y pasar a la fase de recuperación, mejorando a tal efecto la situación de los grupos más vulnerables, en particular de las mujeres y los niños, y tratando de encontrar soluciones duraderas al problema de los refugiados y de las personas desplazadas en el interior de país. Pero estos progresos en el frente humanitario siguen siendo sumamente frágiles, habida cuenta de la inseguridad continua y de la falta de una capacidad nacional estructurada para ocuparse eficazmente del bienestar de los sectores vulnerables de población y hacer frente a los desastres naturales o artificiales.

    UNITED NATIONS S Security Council Distr. GENERAL S/1994/839 18 July 1994 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH FURTHER REPORT OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL ON THE UNITED NATIONS OPERATION IN SOMALIA SUBMITTED IN PURSUANCE OF PARAGRAPH 2 OF SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION 923 (1994) I. INTRODUCTION 1. The present report, which covers developments relating to the political reconciliation process, the humanitarian mission, the security situation and institution-building in Somalia, is submitted to the Security Council in pursuance of paragraph 2 of resolution 923 of 31 May 1994. 2. My new Special Representative for Somalia, Mr. James Victor Gbeho of Ghana, arrived in Somalia on 1 July 1994. The outgoing Acting Special Representative, Mr. Lansana Kouyate, will stay on in Somalia until the end of July 1994 in order to ensure a smooth hand-over of responsibilities. II. THE HUMANITARIAN MISSION 3. Progress continues to be made towards the objectives of overcoming the emergency requirement and moving into the recovery phase by improving the situation of the most vulnerable, particularly women and children, and finding lasting solutions to the plight of the refugees and the internally displaced persons. But these gains on the humanitarian front remain extremely fragile in the face of continuing insecurity and in the absence of a structured indigenous capacity to deal effectively with the welfare of the vulnerable segments of the population and to cope with natural or man-made disasters. 4. The Division for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs of the United Nations Operation in Somalia (UNOSOM II) has continued to provide services of coordination, information and logistical support to the humanitarian community, while pursuing its efforts to assist in the resettlement of the internally displaced persons and promoting the implementation of small-scale community projects in priority geographical areas and sectors where operational agencies are absent.
