More than 4,000 South Sudanese refugees who fled their homes this week to escape the violence of civil war are receiving humanitarian aid at a UN camp in neighbouring Uganda.

Since South Sudan’s peace deal all but collapsed last year, the conflict has spread and has led to one of the biggest refugee crises in the world.
