Over 5,000 civilians have fled to neighbouring South Sudan since the conflict broke out in mid-April between the army and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, according to local media reports
Kuot Dau, the press secretary at the office of the county commissioner of Aweil North County, said they have received a huge influx of returnees and refugees and there is no cellular network where they are settled and he does not know their exact number.
Some media outlets reported that around 5,000 people had reached Aweil North County but Dau said the number is huge and now the number would be bigger than that. "It wasn’t easy for me to reach South Sudan. I really suffered. But thank God, one of my friends assisted me. He paid for my transport and I managed to reach South Sudan safely."
