Yida camp - 30 Mar 2012

Fire rages through Yida camp

A fire destroyed the market in Yida refugee camp in South Sudan.

The camp is made up of people that have fled the Nuba Mountains in South Kordofan

Witnesses said the fire started in a shop close to the market and quickly spread engulfing shops and houses.

Citizens struggled to put it out as a strong wind helped the fire to rage through the camp.

They are yet sure what started the fire.
