lise_grande-200The United Nations Mission in South Sudan says the
congestion of returnees in Renk is due to transportation difficulties
caused by ongoing rains in most of the areas in South Sudan.

Over 20,000 returnees are currently stranded in the county waiting to
be transported to their respective areas of origin.

Speaking to Radio Miraya, the Deputy Special-Representative of the UN
Secretary General in South Sudan Lise Grande said the United Nations
is working closely with the Government of the Republic of South Sudan
to find possible ways of solving the problem.

Renk County in Upper Nile State is one of the only two unblocked
entrance points for returnees from Sudan to South Sudan.
