Over 30,000 displaced people face food shortage in Kodok: Official KODOK (13 Mar.) More than 30,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) are facing a humanitarian crisis due to shortages of food, water and other basic services i in Kodok area in Upper Nile State, a senior opposition official said. Speaking to Radio Tamazuj on Sunday, Morris Orach, Minister of Information in the SPLA-IO controlled area in Fashoda, said the internally displaced persons fled violence from Wau Shilluk area.Orach further said the conflict-displaced people lack food, clean drinking water and other basic services in Kodok area.“We have many displaced people who fled the violence from Wau Shilluk since January and they are really facing a lot of humanitarian challenges,” said Orach.“We have a problem of water that is because their number is huge, we can estimate about 34,000. So, the situation is forcing them to drink untreated water from the stream, and this is a big problem here,” he added. The opposition pointed out that humanitarian organizations came to the area and registered the IDPs but since then, no assistance has been provided to the needy people. Last month, Farhan Haq, the deputy spokesman of the UN Secretary General, told the press that they were worried about an estimated 20, 000 people who fled violence from Wau Shilluk area. -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/southsudankob View this message at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/southsudankob/topic-id/message-id For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
