Description :
During the last month, hundreds of thousands of internally displaced persons flew from Bor due to the fightings and arrived in the temporary camp in Minkamen, 135 Km north of Juba in Lakes State .
Eight ICRC trucks left Juba on the morning of February 9th, 2014 containing around 150 tons of food (sorghum, beans, oil, sugar, salt and soap) to start a food distribution in Minkamen. The food distribution lasted about two weeks.The same trucks repeated the trip on almost daily basis. Given the difficult road, the trip can take up to 7 hours.
The distribution was meant to reach over 92,000 people between the mostly displaced population and the resident pastoralists who have been hosting them since they were forced to leave their homes fleeing the violence. The distribution is being carried out by the ICRC in cooperation with the South Sudan Red Cross.
