Wednesday, 21 November 2012 08:27 Muna Tesfai South Sudan >>> . The head of UN Refugee Agency – UNHCR - is in South Sudan. Antonio Guterres flew into the country Wednesday afternoon for a three day visit, to assess the progress of UNHCR's humanitarian response. UNHCR Senior Spokesperson, Melita Sunjic, told Radio Miraya that Guterres is due to visit a refugee camp and meet with President Kiir and officials from the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs. She explained that the high commissioner's trip is a follow-up on a similar trip he made in January. 'Nearly a year later, the High Commissioner is coming back to see the progress and he will see that there are refugee camps, that there are settlements, that the supply chain is working and that the nutritional status and the health status of these refugees has largely improved. What is also more important, is that we are expecting a new influx and we are well prepared this year, because this year we know already the patterns of movement and dangers in the countries of origin so we could preposition goods and we could prepare ourselves to receive those new refugees" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
