  Tindilo to assess the security and humanitarian situations and deter incidents of 
  
  conflict-related sexual violence were stopped by South Sudan People’s Defence 
  
  Forces soldiers at the Luri Bridge checkpoint. Another two patrols deployed from 
  
  Juba to Terekeka to assess the security situation and engage with the newly appointed 
  
  local authorities were denied access by South Sudan People’s Defence Forces/South 
  
  Sudan National Police Service personnel at the Bilpam headquarters checkpoint. In 
  
  Western Equatoria, 16 UNMISS reconnaissance flights were cancelled owing to the 
  
  refusal at the headquarters and local levels of the Joint Verification and Monitoring 
  
  Mechanism to acknowledge flight safety assurances.
