Emergency Plea

Dear friends of Abek, We have encountered a severe tragedy in our community as the town of Wernyol has been attacked by a militia force. At least forty community members were indiscriminately murdered, including women and children, and many more have been injured. The majority of the surviving population has fled to the county headquarters of Panyagor.

ACDP has prioritized the greatest need to be immediate support in the form of food and mosquito nets to minimize continuing devestation to our community. We plea that you expedite assistance to those in dire need by giving whatever you can online through the website
(

We encourage the Jonglei State Government to quickly aid the return of Wernyol to its people and for the major NGO's to also take action. At the present, ACDP is best positioned to distribute support through its informal network and on-the-ground representative, so please help and thank you.
