UNMISS peacekeepers from Ethiopia and India provided protective escorts to large humanitarian convoys from the World Food Programme, enabling displaced communities in Pibor, Akobo, Lankien and Yuai, to receive life-saving aid. In April 2023, UNMISS peacekeepers have ensured that 150 trucks of humanitarian supplies reach their destinations safely across greater Jonglei, one of South Sudan's most food-insecure states where aid workers have been frequently attacked.
