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. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JFD info" group.
