About 400 families fleeing violence between Gogrial’s Apuk and Aguok communities have arrived to the disputed Abyei region since the violence started last month, local officials said.

Speaking to Radio Tamazuj, Abyei leaders said the displaced people are camping east of Agok town.

Abyei Chief Administrator, Kuol Alor, visited the camp on Saturday to assess the humanitarian situation of the displaced, and to invite humanitarian aid agencies to the area.
