\u201cI note with great concern the escalation of hostilities in neighboring South Sudan… The increasing insecurities, violence, displacement and unfolding humanitarian crisis are detrimental to peace and stability of South Sudan and East Africa region as a whole,\u201d says Ruto in the statement.<\/p>\n

The Kenyan head of state said he has spoken to his counterpart, President Salva Kiir on Saturday, December 24, asking him and all parties involved to exert their utmost efforts to solve the conflict.<\/p>\n

President Ruto tasked the government of South Sudan with facilitating the delivery of humanitarian assistance to the IDPs in Upper Nile and Jonglei.<\/p>\n

He further appealed to the international community to urgently provide all possible and relevant assistance to the government of South Sudan \u201cto enable it to address this dire humanitarian situation\u201d.<\/p>\n

According to UNICEF, the renewed violence in Upper Nile State has displaced between 22,000 to 40,000 people from Kodok town \u2013 West of the White Nile River.<\/p>\n

The agency says the escalating violence in the Upper Nile State, is forcing thousands of people \u2013 mostly women and children \u2013 to flee for their lives as clashes between armed groups surge in Fashoda County, North of the country.<\/p>\n
