KODOK (22 Feb.)

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said its medical team
has received dozens of wounded people after clashes between government
troops and opposition fighters in various areas in South Sudan’s Upper Nile
state.

Alyona Synenko, the Spokesperson of the ICRC in South Sudan, told Radio
Tamazuj that their healthcare center in Kodok area, have recently received
dozens of wounded people after fighting in various areas in Upper
Nile.Synenko pointed out that that the wounded the people are still
receiving treatment in Kodok.

However, the aid worker didn’t say whether the wounded are soldiers or
civilians.Separately Morris Orach, the rebel-appointed minister of
information in Fashoda state, said nearly 20 wounded civilians were taken
to the ICRC healthcare center for treatment.The opposition official claimed
that those civilians sustained injuries after an attack carried out by
government forces on Wau Shilluk area recently.“When the government forces
shelled the camp with different types of weapons, nearly 20 people
sustained injuries, so they were transferred to Kodok for treatment and up
to now, the ICRC is still treating them, they are civilians,” said Morris.

Last week, the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), expressed concern over
the lack of information about the situation of some 20,000 internally
displaced people on the west bank of the Nile in Upper Nile state.

On Monday, the Ceasefire and Transitional Security Arrangements Monitoring
Mechanism (CTSAMM) reported that its monitoring team was denied access to
Wau Shilluk area by government soldiers recently.
