The incident, involving two Nuer sections, occurred Saturday morning after a group disagreed during a game at the civilian protection site in Jebel.
Several members from the eastern Nuer section were pushed out of the protection camp as western Nuers remained in control of the site, a source told Sudan Tribune.
Lieth Gattiek who lives at the UN site said he also witnessed the violent incident.
“I saw so many people, having been wounded as the result of youth clashes in the UN camp. And many more are in dire critical conditions without immediate medical attention,” said Gattie
