Juba (IINA) – The UN Security Council on Sunday condemned renewed violence in Unity State, South Sudan, which resulted in the displacement of more than 100,000 people and suspension of aid delivery, Xinhua News Agency reported.
Thousands more fled the war zones in the southern part of the oil-rich Unity State as a result of clashes between government troops and rebels.
Due to the fighting, humanitarian agencies and organizations suspended the delivery of relief aid in the war zones, affecting more than 300,000 people.
"The members of the Security Council condemned in the strongest terms the repeated violations of the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement ... and underscored that there is no military solution to this conflict," the 15-member UN Security Council said in a statement.
The members of the council also condemned Friday's large-scale attack by rebels on the town of Malakal in Upper Nile State, the statement said.
The council expressed concern over the worsening of the humanitarian crisis in the country.
