Displaced families celebrate Mass in war-torn South Sudan

Women sing during Catholic Mass held in a camp for internally displaced families located inside a United Nations base in Juba, South Sudan. The camp holds Nuer families who took refuge there in December 2013 after a political dispute within the country's ruling party quickly fractured the young nation along ethnic and tribal lines. The ACT Alliance is providing a variety of services, including fresh water, to the more than 20,000 people living in the camp.
