Juba: Up to 100,000 people have fled a week of heavy fighting in South Sudan's civil war in the key northern oil state of Unity, the United Nations said Friday.

"Since the beginning of May, military activities south of Bentiu in Unity State have forced up to 100,000 people from their homes," UN aid chief in the war-torn country Toby Lanzer said in a statement.
