JUBA: The UN refugee agency, UNHCR, on Friday expressed shock at the death of a refugee and two local South Sudanese who sustained fatal injuries during an incident in Upper Nile's Doro refugee camp early this week.

UNHCR Representative Ahmed Warsame said the staff are on the ground gathering details about the circumstances that led to the death of the refugee. "This is an act of senseless violence and our thoughts and prayers are with those families who have lost their loved ones," Warsame said in a statement issued in Juba.
