Security situation in Western Upper Nile still serious

    NAIROBI

    The current security situation in Western Upper Nile remains serious with most areas restricted, except for Toy and Pabuong where assessment teams were allowed to stay overnight, Operation Lifeline Sudan (OLS) said in its latest weekly update. In addition, Koch and Boaw were not accessible because of poor weather. Fighting continued in the area around Bentiu, Wang Kai and Mayom towns. OLS said fighting was also expected to escalate around Leer and Adok and so the plan to take non-food items by Buffalo aircraft to Wicok, Toy and then on to other locations, was suspended until a security assessment can be carried out.
