United Nations, July 4 (IANS) The UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) has reported that nearly 100,000 people are seeking protection in its bases across the country, and the number is likely to remain high, a spokesperson said Thursday. "Humanitarian partners are working together with UNMISS to improve the situation, wherever possible, both by improving the situation in existing sites and by creating new sites that will decongest the current, improvised protection sites," Xinhua quoted UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric as saying at a daily news briefing. In Juba, relocations have begun to a new site that is ready to welcome up to 13,300 people." The mission also said that given the security situation and the projected deterioration of the food security situation, the number of displaced people in UNMISS bases is expected to remain high over the coming months, Dujarric said. Meanwhile, UNMISS voiced particular concern about the situation in Bentiu, where 100-200 displaced people continue to arrive daily, many of whom are mal**urished.
