Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The government of Unity State says it has relocated thousands of residents who live around oil-affected areas to Roriah Boma under Rubkona County in the wake of oil chemical mismanagement by Greater Petroleum Operating Company (GPOC) coupled with pipeline leakage.<\/p>\n

Tot Jockchieng, the Unity State Acting Minister of Health who also doubles as the Minister of Education, confirmed the relocation of residents from two major camps.<\/p>\n

He said residents who live nearby unity oilfield were relocated 20 kilometres from oil operating companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have decided to relocate people who live around unity oilfield to Roriah and Budang Payams because we fear of long-term effect of toxic chemical wastes,\u201d Jockchieng was quoted by Juba Echo to have said.<\/p>\n

In 2020, an oil pipeline burst and lasted for three days when the technical person went on leave. The toxic chemical wastes left unattended to, caused birth defects and unprecedented pollution.<\/p>\n

The Acting Minister of Health assure full government support to newly relocated people and he said humanitarian WASH partners, health partners, and education cluster agreed to render services to the relocated people.<\/p>\n

\u201cTemporary health facilities, schools and WASH activities will be set up by humanitarian partners under the supervision of State Ministry of Health.\u201d<\/p>\n
