Such actions discourage humanitarian workers from playing their role while also watering down any effort to build on past gains.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The NGO Forum called on the international community and their national counterparts to act immediately as the safety of humanitarians and a robust humanitarian response will mitigate the loss of lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe urge the communities to respect the values that come with hosting displaced people,\u201d the statement said. \u201cSecuring humanitarian agencies\u2019 assets and humanitarian workers is paramount in ensuring communities are better served and suffering is alleviated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The NGO Forum also said it is concerned about the looming escalation of violence in Upper Nile and called on all parties involved to exercise restraint.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-sudan\">South-Sudan<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
