(CNN) -- South Sudan appealed for international aid for a remote region that has been under attack by roaming fighters, as thousands of residents fled into the bush to avoid the violence.
The government declared Jonglei state a "humanitarian disaster area" and called on international aid agencies to help provide urgently needed assistance.
It is not yet clear how many people have been killed or injured in the violence.
The United Nations said Thursday it was mounting a "massive emergency support programme" to help those displaced by fighting.
