The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs
(UNOCHA) confirms that it has had no reports of humanitarian trucks
being shot at by the SPLA en route to Mundri,” clarified the agency in
a statement extended to Sudan Tribune.
OCHA, however, called on South Sudan’s warring parties to cooperate
with aid agencies to allow them to access the remote areas to deliver
food and assist the people in need.
“UNOCHA does, however, confirm that a humanitarian convoy is en route
to Mundri and calls on all parties to allow free, safe, and unhindered
access for the convoy to proceed,” further reads the agency’s
statement.
Last week, there were media reports that two trucks belonging to the
UN Office for Coordinator of Humanitarian Affairs were seized and
looted by pro-government forces.
But OCHA dismissed the report, which it described as "inaccurate"
information. The agency, however, confirmed that two convoys had
safely arrived in Mundri town.
