MSF Suspends Work in South Sudan
Aid group Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) says it has been forced to suspend work in a volatile part of South Sudan because of attacks against their staff, as violence between rival tribes surges in the area.
The organisation says that armed men stole medical equipment from one of its health clinics twice this month in Jonglei state, adding that staff members have also been attacked while delivering aid.
In a statement on its website, the organisation is calling on armed groups to respect its neutrality so it can resume providing aid.
