Clashes between ethnic groups in a South Sudanese civilian protection camp have left 13 people dead and 20 injured, the UN humanitarian agency said on Friday.

A 14-year-old boy from the Shilluk community was stabbed to death on Thursday, triggering "intercommunal violence" at the Malakal camp in northern South Sudan, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said.
