The UN says nearly 100,000 people have fled clashes in South Sudan, between supporters of President Salva Kiir and those of his opponent, former deputy president Riek Machar.
The UN's aid chief in South Sudan, Toby Lanzer, said the conflict had resumed in the oil-rich Unity state, despite a ceasefire deal signed by the rivals in January.
The conflict, which began in 2013, has left over 10,000 dead and another 1.5mn displaced.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
