The UN humanitarian coordinator ad interim for South Sudan, Mahimbo Mdoe, has expressed concern regarding recent threat letters issued against aid workers in Bor, Torit and Mankien areas.“Aid workers are working tirelessly across South Sudan with the sole aim of saving lives and alleviating the suffering of civilians caught-up in conflict and desperate circumstances,” said Mdoe.“It is absolutely unacceptable that aid workers, who place themselves at risk each day to help others, are being subjected to discrimination, threats and violence,” he added.
