Mechanical engineers, belonging to the Republic of Korea peacekeeping contingent of UNMISS, have been working hard to repair flood-affected roads and bring under control rising water levels in Bor town in SouthSudan.

The Security Council adopted a resolution today (12 Aug) to deploy a “Regional Protection Force” to the South Sudanese capital under chapter seven of the UN charter as part of the extension of the United Nations mission’s (UNMISS ) mandate until 15 December 2016.

Since last week, World Food Programme (WFP) has been airlifting food to more than 4,000 vulnerable households in Aweil Town alone.
