By James Deng Dimo WAU, 04 August 2017- [Gurtong] – He said that more people are at risk of starvation due to lack of food in the area. He also said that there has been no support from any organisation to assist the people. “The humanitarian situation is worsening and our people are starving to death, the violence which forced our people out from Wau town is deteriorating their lives and will continue if no emergency relief is rendered to them,” said Francis Ibrahim. He further said that the people lack medical services in the area. “Our people lack medicines and clean drinking water. There is an urgent need from the humanitarian agencies to scale up their efforts to help, no fear of insecurity, the area is safe for humanitarian aid workers and any willing Samaritan can do their activities towards rescuing the needy population there,” he said. “As such, we are calling on the humanitarian aid workers to intervene with what is necessary and rescue our population in Bessilia County,” said the Commissioner.
