Weeks of fighting in South Sudan have forced more than 110,000 people to flee from their homes, according to French medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres.<br /><br />Two thirds of that number are believed to have fled the central city of Bor. <br /><br />Many refugees remain without access to food, shelter and clean water. <br /><br />“We are still under the trees, as you have seen other people. So we just live under the tree, no houses…and then many people are sick here , diarrhoea and other things,’‘ a young woman fleeing the violence said. <br /><br />UN estimates put the figure on internally displaced people in South Sudan much higher, nearer the 200,000 mark. <br /><br />The three week ethnic conflict in the world’s newest state has so far killed 1000 people. <br /><br />Meetings between the government and rebels in neighbouring Ethiopia to broker a ceasefire are on-going.
