This is a press statement from the Ministry of Finance and Planning in the Republic of South Sudan concerning an incident involving a group of people referred to as "wounded heroes" who forcefully entered the ministry's premises to demand payment for their medical benefits. The ministry clarified that it does not have a dedicated budget supported by foreign donors for such medical claims. Instead, the government supports the medical benefits of veterans, which are managed outside the budgetary allocations of the Ministry of Defence and Veterans Affairs. The statement reports that two payments have been disbursed to the Ministry of Defence and Veterans Affairs for addressing the needs of wounded veterans.
