AWEIL- More than one million refugees have fled South Sudan's ongoing civil war, overwhelming aid agencies and creating one of the world's worst humanitarian disasters.

 

The United Nations said Friday that South Sudan joins Syria, Afghanistan, and Somalia as countries that have produced over one million refugees.

 

"This is a very sad milestone," said Leo Dobbs, a spokesman for the UN refugee agency.
