White Nile governor appeals for food aid for South Sudan refugees

WHITE NILE (27 Feb.)

The governor of Sudan’s White Nile State, Abdel-Hameed Musa Kasha, has
called on UN agencies to intervene and assist the South Sudanese refugees
who are arriving in the state.

Speaking to Radio Tamazuj on Sunday, Governor Kasha said the number of
refugees from South Sudan is increasing due to the upsurge in recent
fighting between the warring rivals in northern Upper Nile. Musa added that
this increase in refugees is constraining the already limited resources in
his state.Musa pointed out that they anticipate more refugees in the coming
weeks and hence the need for a greater intervention from UN agencies and
other humanitarian organisations.

The Sudanese official pointed out that the activities of South Sudan
warring parties along the border affect communities in both countries.“Some
bombs fall into the Sudanese territory and this has forced many local
communities to live in fear and some have been forced to abandon their
areas. The bombs have also killed many cattle belonging to the Sudanese
community,”he said.

He noted that they have already notified the warring parties in South Sudan
to be cautious of their activities around the border areas where
communities of both countries reside.
