He said yesterday. “They came from Bentiu today, they have arrived today, they were boarding a boat, until now those who have arrived here are 50, most of them are children and women,” said Chol.

The camp leader noted that some of them are still living in the open near the riverside, saying the new arrivals pointed out that they wanted to join their relatives who entered the UN camp in Bor town after the outbreak of civil war.

“They are saying that the situation there is not good, and they came to Bor to join their relatives who came here earlier and others are in Juba,” he said.

Chol called upon humanitarian organizations to provide food and other services to the new arrivals as soon as possible.
