(August 29, 2013) - More than 450 returnees have been transported from Juba to Wau, Western Bahr el Ghazal State.
The returnees were part of a group from Khartoum that was stranded at the Malakal way station in Upper Nile for up to two years.
The state’s relief and rehabilitation commission said the returnees would receive food and non-food items before being transported to their final destinations.
“There is a basic service since this is a rainy season. We give them the kit of non-food items,” said Mohammad Issa, the director for the relief and rehabilitation commission in the state.
Mr Issa said that out of the more than 450 returnees, 43 left Wau for Kuajok in Warrap State and 250 others left for Aweil in Northern Bhar al Ghazal State.
