During the reporting period, the Force supervised the areas of separation by means of fixed positions and patrols to ensure that no military forces were in it. It carried out inspections of armament and force levels in the areas of limitation, accompanied by liaison officers from the party concerned. Both sides denied inspection teams access to some of their positions and imposed restrictions on the Force's freedom of movement. Renewed efforts are under way to have those restrictions eased. The Force assisted the International Committee of the Red Cross and provided medical treatment to the local population upon request.
Minefields continue to be a concern.
