A general view shows South Sudanese patients inside the surgery ward at the Bor teaching hospital after renewed conflict in Bor, Jonglei state December 11, 2014. Government troops and South Sudanese rebels have been fighting for more than a week in a remote northern region of the country, a United Nations official said, in the worst clashes since the rainy season receded in recent weeks. The conflict in South Sudan, which declared independence from Sudan in 2011, has killed more than 10,000 people, driven 1 million from their homes and led to a severe food shortage.
