Displaced people from Tokori Boma of Lasu Payam of Yei River County are calling on humanitarian organizations to support them with food and none-food items.

Archangelo Lokolong, one of the IDPs told Radio Easter that they have not received any assistance from humanitarian organizations or the government.

He urged the organizations to quickly respond to the dire humanitarian situation of the vulnerable people.

Lokolong regretted that their children did not get anything to eat which he fears might cause malnutrition due to lack of sufficient food nutrients in their body system.

The IDP called on the education authorities to consider the education of their children who are currently missing education services.

Lokolong appeals to the revitalized government to look into the suffering of the civil population and work for peace in order for civilians to enjoy relative peace of mind and start developmental projects.

He calls on the government to consider dialogue with the holdout groups to end the continued suffering of the citizens of south Sudan and Yei River County in particular.

Joseph Abugo, another IDP, called on the leadership of the Central Equatoria State governor Emmanuel Adil Anthony to intervene and rescue the suffering of the people of Yei.

He appealed to the health department to conduct awareness to the internally displaced persons to avoid contracting diseases due to overcrowding.

A population of one hundred and thirty households and six hundred ninety individuals were displaced in the recent days from Tokori Boma of Lasu Payam in Yei River County.

They joined the other internally displaced persons seeking shelter at the ECSS compound of the Episcopal Diocese of Yei.
