UN air movements to Gumuruk Payam in Pibor County of Jonglei State have resumed.
UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs weekly bulletin saidÊ aid agencies are planning to assist some 6,800 people in Gumuruk who have returned following hostilities in September.The bulletin said the distributions were delayed after UN air movements to Pibor County were temporarily stopped due the shooting down of a UN helicopter by the SPLA on December 21.
With the resumption of UN flights to Gumuruk in early January, humanitarian actors are hoping to see increased humanitarian access to assist people in the area.
