In South Sudan, more than 100,000 people have been displaced following an outbreak in ethnic violence in recent weeks. There are conflicting reports on the number of people killed. One local official put the death toll at 3,000, but a United Nations official said no evidence has been found of mass killings.

Andrew Jackson, World Food Programme officer in South Sudan: “We’re currently here with over 2,000 internally displaced people. They’ve had to fled their village from hunger, conflict and killings. They’ve traveled over 150 kilometers over a 10-day period, without any food or water. And this is the first chance that they’ve been able to find a safe place to stay and where we, the World Food Programme, can help the most vulnerable by giving them a one-month food ration.”
