The conflict-affected families are living in a school east of Agok area and are in need of food, the head of the Abyei Relief and Rehabilitation Commission told Radio Tamazuj. The official said his commission intends to assess their humanitarian conditions in order to provide assistance. *New mosque to be built* Separately, the Abyei area administration has decided to allocate a plot for Muslim community to build a mosque in the area. Deng Bol Athuai, deputy head of the area’s administration, told Radio Tamazuj that they will approve the mosque’s land in a cabinet meeting next week.
