Rebecca Adau Deng (left) and Apajok Gut Riak carry home packages of essential household items in Bor, a city in South Sudan's Jonglei State that has been the scene of fierce fighting in recent months between the country's military and anti-government rebels. After fighting broke out in mid December 2013, control of the town changed hands four times in a few weeks. ACT Alliance members were among the first humanitarian agencies to enter the city in January 2014, and are providing services--such as these packages--to thousands of people who are cautiously returning home to the troubled city, as well as people--like these women's families--which are fleeing from fighting in other areas to take refuge in abandoned and burned houses in Bor. The packages are provided by Dan Church Aid and distributed by the Lutheran World Federation, both members of the ACT Alliance.
