An estimated 100,000 people have fled South Sudan's army offensives into Ethiopia due to escalating violence in the town of Akobo.
Recent military actions by South Sudan's army have led to a significant humanitarian crisis, with approximately 100,000 individuals fleeing from Akobo, a town under opposition control, into neighboring Ethiopia. This mass exodus was prompted by an evacuation order issued by the army on March 6 for residents and foreign aid entities. It marks a troubling return to conflict, with this town becoming a focal point of renewed hostilities.
