Al Jazeera's Mohammed Vall reports from Southern Sudan on peacekeepers that are operating without basic supplies.
Six months after the deployment of a joint peacekeeping force in Sudan's Darfur region, soldiers are struggling to protect civilians as they face a crippling lack of basic supplies.
Sudan says the joint UN-African Union force [UNAMID] must contain mainly African soldiers.
As a result, that has caused delays in finding enough troops.
