Returnees in Kworijik village, Luri,  in Juba have received thirty bags of maize flour and 25 cartons of soap in assistance from the SPLM.

They were displaced in January during a clash between cattle keepers and farmers in the area.

The returnees, whose houses were destroyed during the fighting, are now taking shelter at a church compound.

At the handover of the items, SPLM secretary for social welfare and services Nora Zangabeyo urged the government to provide more security.

“I am urging the leadership of Central Equatoria not to take this issue as simple, because this is a rainy season and we don’t want hunger to hit this area,” she stated.

“We don’t want sickness to kill people because they don’t have enough food.”

Eye Radio also spoke to the people of Kworijik who returned to their area last week.

“We are still living in fear because the thing that has happened is not good. And now the rain has started our situation is not good, a lot of houses were burnt and there is no place for us to live,” said a returnee.

“The medicines that we have here are few and we have a lot of malaria cases. The security force that we have here is not enough and need some to be added on them.”
