On 5 May 2010, the sixteenth meeting of the Incident Prevention and Response Mechanism (IPRM), chaired by the United Nations, was held in Gali.
Participants reviewed incidents reported since the previous meeting, exchanged information and provided clarification in this regard. Incidents addressed at the previous IPRM meeting were also followed up.
Participants noted the need to ensure unhindered passage for the local civilian population, in particular for patients, who are seeking medical assistance, and ambulances.
