Medical charity MSF has
described conditions in a UN camp in Malakal, South Sudan, as "overcrowded
and deplorable".
BBC News reports that the 48,000 people living in the camp have fled because of the insecurity caused
by the civil war - with 16,000 arriving in July and August alone.
The
charity said in a statement that "more space must be immediately allocated
to the people seeking shelter".
It
added that the MSF hospital in Malakal is now filled "beyond capacity with
children suffering from life-threatening pneumonia, malaria and other
illnesses".
