Over a thousand people fleeing conflict in Minga Payam of Western Equatoria State (WES) are stranded in Rokon Payam, Central Equatoria State.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Relief and Rehabilitation Commission\u2019s acting chairperson in Yambio, Thomas Aringa said civilians vacate Minga due to clashes between government forces and National Salvation Front (NAS).<\/p>\n \u201cMore than 1,048 individuals ran from Minga to Rokon, the territory of Central Equatoria State. The household is like 636,\u201d Aringa said.<\/p>\n Aringa calls for support to the IDPs.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, we need support from both the CES and WES governments and organizations that are working here [in Yambio] to at least help these people,\u201d he appealed.<\/p>\n According to Mr. Aringa, the IDPs, who are staring hunger in the face, wanted relocation from Rokon to Wito area in Western Equatoria State.<\/p>\n \u201cBecause when they are brought to Wito, they will depend on the coconut. The IDPs are there stranded with no food; they are in Rokon eating [surviving on] mangoes; it is very difficult,\u201d he lamented.<\/p>\n He appealed to the government and organizations to swiftly intervene by providing food and non-food items.<\/p>\n Furthermore, in Tambura County, about 1,000 people were forced to leave their homes and are now in the TOB center, of which 250 are mainly elderly women.<\/p>\n “On the other side of the barrack, there is a community of over 700 people. So, these people need assistance, especially the tents,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n The RRC boss in Western Equatoria disclosed that they have 100 tents in Juba, but how to transport them to the state is now a headache, as UNICEF has yet to respond to the RRC’s plea.<\/p>\n He further stated that more than 100 IDPs have returned to Nadiangere Payam in Yambio County.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By William Madouk Over a thousand people fleeing conflict in Minga Payam of Western Equatoria State (WES) are stranded in Rokon Payam, Central Equatoria State.
