When the blue helmets from one of UNMISS’s engineering contingents based in Malakal -- the Indian Horizontal and Mechanical Company (HMEC) – first arrived at Khor Adar, the situation on the ground was dire.
Floods caused by heavy rainfall destroyed a main road intersection connecting Bunj and Melut in the Khor Adar area of Malakal, causing great distress to local communities. UNMISS peacekeepers repaired the main junction to restore connections between these two major towns.
