Gunmen in South Sudan on Thursday attacked a UN peacekeepers’ camp where thousands of people had sought safety, killing at least 58 people, the Washington Post reports.
Almost 5000 civilians were sheltering at the camp. The South Sudan government today deployed troops to provide security for UN facilities.
The United Nations said the gunmen, using a peaceful demonstration as cover, stormed the camp and opened fire after breaking through the gate.
The United Nations Security Council has expressed outrage at the attacks.
