*By Jacob Achiek Jok* *BOR, 18 December 2013 [Gurtong] –* The Director of South Sudan Red Cross (SSRC) David Gai said that the humanitarian situation is worse because most of the displaced people have no shelters, food, and access to drinking water. Gai said that 19 have been confirmed by SSRC during their normal assessment which they have conducted today after the community disserted their home areas. Gai said that they have not accessed the areas captured by Peter Gadet due to insecurity. He said that SSRC is giving water assistance to displaced people in three locations around Bor town. Forces loyal to Peter Gadet are still maintaining their positions at Malaul-chaat, the center located at about five kilometres away from Bor town and Pan-Pandiar which is about 30 kilometres from Bor.
