Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Around four people are feared to have died and six others injured in Jonglei State after two boats collided at Nyang, Bor County, on Saturday.<\/p>\n

A commercial boat was carrying humanitarian assistance belonging to the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations when it collided with another boat on the River Nile.<\/p>\n

It was travelling from Bor to Panyangor, Twic East County, Jonglei state.<\/p>\n

Elijah Thonbor Abraham, Deputy Secretary of Jonglei State Boat Union, said the two boats collided and capsized at Nyang the Southern part of Bor County.<\/p>\n
