Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) say they are concerned about the safety and security of thousands of civilians caught up in recent clashes between rival armed groups in Upper Nile State.<\/p>\n

The mission said that over 15,000 people have been displaced by fighting in and around Tonga town since August 14.<\/p>\n

The situation is even made worse by the recent flooding in the area that is preventing displaced persons from reaching higher and safer grounds; and humanitarian aid.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo far, over 200 of the displaced persons have sought refuge at the UN protection of civilians site in Malakal, the capital of Upper Nile State. Many children are reported to be missing or separated from their families,\u201d UNMISS said in a statement.<\/p>\n

UNMISS urged all parties to uphold international law and protect the freedom of movement for aid agencies in the Upper Nile region to support the affected families.<\/p>\n

\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n

Additionally, the mission urged the warring parties to immediately halt hostilities and in obedience to the revitalised peace agreement.<\/p>\n

The mission further called on the national and local authorities to act quickly to safeguard civilians and stop the fighting from getting worse.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Mission is supporting the movement of humanitarian organizations and deploying additional peacekeepers to the UN Protection site to increase security and mitigate the risk of spillover fighting.\u201d<\/p>\n
