Humanitarian organizations operating in South Sudan's war-torn Yei River state has reached out to vulnerable people who have not received assistance for a long period of time in the state.

This is the first time the groups of different organizations within Yei have accessed people cut off from food aid and healthcare in several rural areas since the outbreak of war in Yei last year.

On Wednesday last week, a convey of aid agencies headed by UNOCHA, ACROSS, UNHCR, AAH, UMCOR and other NGOs delivered  humanitarian services to local residents in Logo Payam in Otogo County and Goli Payam in Tore County.

Speaking to Radio Tamazuj, Yei River County Health Director Michael Lugala appreciated the humanitarian organizations for extending their services to the vulnerable population in the two rural areas.

Lugala renewed his call on the government and the opposition to continue granting unhindered access to the rural areas.

For their part, several residents in Logo and Goli areas confirmed the delivery of food, medicines and vaccines for children and pregnant mothers.
