The presence of government forces and UN peacekeepers are monitoring the area after the recent spate of violence in South Sudan's flash point region of Jonglei. The attack by armed Lou Nuer youth on 23 December resulted in displacing an estimated 20,000 to 50,000 people who fled the town fearing for their lives. It's too early to confirm the number of casualties. In its effort to support the government, UNMISS is reinforcing its presence in key areas and is conducting daily land and air patrols to deter further violence in the area. Reports indicate the bulk of the Lou Nuer youth who attacked Pibor had moved away from the town and civilians are returning. Currently, 500 IDPs have returned to the town and thousands are expected in the coming days. At a center in Pibor town, about 180 unaccompanied and orphaned children have returned from the bush. Most of them lost their parents during the raids. Agod Korok a resident of Pibor fled when attacker raided her village. As a result she got separated from her children and does not know where they are. SOUNDBITE (Murle) Agod Korok, Victim: "I have lost three children in the bush, when we were attack in Bertet, and I don't know weather they are alive or death, I came here to look for them." As people come back from hiding, they are faced with a lack of food, clean water and shelter. The UN humanitarian organizations say the situation remains grim and are launching a massive emergency humanitarian operation to provide immediate and adequate assistance to the victims of the two communities. SOUNDBITE (Murle) Agod Korok, Victim: "We are in need of food because we have to survive, we don't know about our other brother weather they are still surviving in the bush or not, we need food to eat." The centre is run by volunteers, with the hope of reconnecting the children with their family members. Often with such attacks, women and children are the most vulnerable. If they are not killed, they are abducted. SOUNDBITE (Murle) Rev. Abraham korok Kutura, Volunteer at the center, "All the people are in the bushes and most of the casualties are women and children. The children you are seeing here some of them where found laying on the back of their death mothers in the bush they have spend three days in the bush with the bodies of their mothers." Jonglei has seen a series of reprisal attacks between the two communities, which have a history of animosity over grazing land, water sources and cattle raids. The recent attack on the Murle is believed to be an act of revenge for an attack in August by the rival tribe. In accordance with its mandate, UNMISS is continuing its support to the government to discharge its primary reasonability to protect its civilians.
