**More than 160 people - mostly women and children - have been killed in violence in South Sudan, officials say.**A group of men from the Murle community attacked a camp in the Akobo area of Jonglei state in a dawn raid, they say.
Eleven soldiers from the South Sudan army, the SPLA, who were protecting the camp were also killed.
Several hundred people have died in such clashes this year - more than in the conflict in Sudan’s Darfur region, UN officials say.
Most of the victims of the attack, which took place in the early hours of Sunday morning, were from the Lou Nuer group.
The camp, some 25 miles (40km) south-west of Akobo town, is being explored for oil.
“One hundred women and children, 50 men and 11 SPLA [soldiers] are being buried by the riverside this morning,” Akobo commissioner Goi Jooyul Yol said on Monday, according to Reuters news agency.
He warned that more dead may yet be found.
“There may still be bodies in the bush, we don’t yet know the full number,” Mr Yol said.
The region is still awash with guns following the end of the civil war in 2005.
