Content_paragraphs: Between 1 June and 1 October, MINUSCA received allegations concerning 118 
  
  incidents of conflict-related sexual violence, mostly rape, against at least 154 
  
  survivors (87 women, 67 girls). While 15 incidents were verified, the challenging 
  
  security situation and lack of access to remote locations remained obstacles to 
  
  conducting comprehensive investigations. Members of armed groups were allegedly 
  
  responsible for 94 incidents; 7 incidents were attributed to the national defence and 
  
  internal security forces; and 9 incidents were attributed to bilaterally deployed and 
  
  other security personnel.
