Fighting scars oil town in South Sudan
Residents endure displacement, looting, rape and violence as Malakal changes hands following government offensive.
Published On 22 Jan 2014
The South Sudanese government says it has recaptured a key oil town from rebels. But thousands of people in Malakal have been left homeless, and have suffered from looting, rape and violence.
Hospitals, schools and churches have been transformed into refugee camps housing the displaced, struggling to provide for the huge number of those seeking safety.
