Civilians who fled the recent fighting stack their belongings up outside the gate of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) compound, hoping to benefit from their protection, after government forces on Friday retook from rebel forces the provincial capital of Bentiu, in Unity State, South Sudan, Sunday, January 12, 2014. On Sunday senior South Sudanese government officers inspected the recaptured town of Bentiu, in northern Unity State, that was the scene of intense fighting between government and rebel forces, while a South Sudanese government official claimed rebels had badly damaged petroleum facilities in the state.
