Mongolian peacekeepers safeguard a lifeline convoy through danger and dust
At 7:00 AM, #UNMISS #Mongolian peacekeepers geared up for a vital mission to escort 22 fuel trucks carrying 400,000 litres of fuel through flood-affected and insecure terrain to Bentiu, #SouthSudan. On the 50km journey through areas impacted by conflict and criminality, the team maintained a protective shield around the two-kilometre long convoy carrying precious supplies that will sustain peacekeeping operations to protect civilians and ensure safe delivery of humanitarian aid for the year ahead. Seven hours later, thanks to teamwork and courage, every truck arrived safely.
Mission accomplished!
