Malakal was a city in South Sudan. Largely destroyed during fighting between 2011-2015, relatively little remains other than looted and vandalised ruins, very limited infrastructure and a 45,000 person strong United Nations refugee camp northeast of the former city.
By boat
Barges traversed the White Nile; a primary means of transportation, the boats took passengers from Maloot with travel time varying from six to 24 hours.
By car
Pre-conflict, the roads in South Sudan ranged from bad to non-existent; during the rainy season, all roads to Malakal became unusable for ordinary vehicles.
