UN calls for urgent action to shore up peace in South Sudan

JUBA, Oct. 19 (Xinhua) -- The United Nations on Wednesday said South Sudan's conflict has become increasingly complex as the level of suffering for millions of civilians remains intolerable, calling for an urgent need for action to shore up peace.

The UN Commission for Human Rights in South Sudan urged the African countries and other stakeholders to renew their support for the implementation of the peace agreement for South Sudan, whose people face one of the gravest humanitarian crises in the region that rarely makes headlines.
