The United Nations Security Council has condemned fighting in two northern states in South Sudan. It also noted repeated violations of a ceasefire agreement the government and rebels signed early last year.

The Council said in a statement last Sunday that a government offensive in Unity State causes violence that displaced 100,000 people. The unrest also halted aid delivery to civilians in the area.

The Security Council also blamed the rebels for launching an attack on the town of Malakal in Upper Nile state.

A group of East African nations has been trying to mediate the conflict between President Salva Kiir's government and rebels supporting former Vice President Riek Machar.
