SOUTH SUDAN: UN, PARTNERS REACH STRANDED CIVILIANS IN JONGLEI AMIDST
MORE VIOLENCE New York, Jul 15 2013 1:00PMThe United Nations and its
humanitarian partners in South Sudan have for the first time this year
gained access to areas in Pibor County where thousands of people have
been stranded in the swampy bush, a senior UN official said, urging
communities there to "halt the cycle of violence" that has killed and
displaced civilians in Jonglei state.

"Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and UN agencies have met
communities near Dorain, Fertait and Labrab to assess their needs and
mount a humanitarian response," UN Humanitarian Coordinator in the
country, Toby Lanzer said in a statement. The response includes
urgently needed medical attention, in addition to ongoing programmes
in other parts of Jonglei State.

Fighting between Government forces and armed groups in Jonglei has
displaced thousands of civilians since January. The UN and its
partners have had access to most of the 1.5 million people in the
area, but were unable to reach a couple of the villages from which
people fled and were hiding in the bush.

The access gained this Saturday and Sunday is a "significant
breakthrough," Mr. Lanzer told UN Radio, facilitated by local and
state authorities, as well as non-state partners.

With the rainy season started and expected to last through December,
the basic concerns of the families in the area are staying dry and
warm, food and medical needs. Mr. Lanzer said the medical cases
encountered include serious tropical wounds and others where surgery
is urgently needed to preserve limbs and save lives.

Most importantly, he stressed, is the need for freedom of movement:
"We have a situation where we want people to gain access to the main
towns of Jonglei State where the NGOs have been based in the past…
it's going to be difficult for us, from a logistics perspective, to go
in there and set up a field hospital or to establish a food aid
distribution."

Meanwhile, the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) said it, along with
the Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) and the UN World Health
Organization (WHO), is attending to some 200 casualties in the remote
village of Manyabol.

The UN is airlifting the most critically injured to Bor, where medical
personnel from NGOs are ready to treat the wounded.

The injured are linked to clashes following an armed mobilization of
armed youth in the county.

In his statement, Mr. Lanzer called urgently on the Government of
South Sudan, as well as national, local and traditional leaders of all
communities in Jonglei to halt the cycle of violence that is leading
to senseless loss of lives and suffering amongst civilians in the
country that last week marked its second independence anniversary.Jul
