Médecins Sans Frontières, MSF says the United Nations Mission in South Sudan, UNMISS is failing to protect civilians in Unity State.
 
MSF Holland’s activities Manager in the Unity State, Peter Buth says UNMISS’s lack of action is ‘shocking’.
 
There was no any protection until now while the violence is ongoing thousands of people who managed to flee are telling their stories, he says.
 
Civilians talk about the most terrible incidents of sexual violence, he adds.
 
MSF discloses that the situation in Leer County of Unity State ‘was dire’.
 
Every single civilian is going through crisis, the manager points out.
 
There are systematic continuing attacks against the civil population for months, but no action taken, Buth says.
 
CRN could not reach UNMISS for comment by press time.
