LATEST MAP OF REFUGEE CAMP LOCATIONS - Source: MSF |
South Sudan residents residing in a U.N. camp are
living in knee-deep, sewage-contaminated floodwater, forcing some families to
sleep standing up so they can hold their children out of the water, an aid
group said Friday. Reports from MSF/AP/SHF.
Doctors Without Borders said the conditions in the
camp in Bentiu are "an affront to human dignity," and demanded that
dry land within the camp be immediately made available for living space. The residents
can't leave the camp because of fear that they could be killed outside.
The U.N. is housing nearly 100,000 people in South
Sudan in bases that were not intended to house internally displaced persons.
Ethnically targeted violence broke out last December, forcing more than 1
million people to flee their homes.
Meanwhile two men the elected President Salva Kiir and his estranged vice Riek Machar continue bickering.
