NAIROBI - Thousands of people in the southern Sudan town of Rumbek face mass starvation unless humanitarian help reaches them quickly, missionaries said yesterday.

The Sudan Catholic Information Office in Nairobi said that 10,000 to 15,000 people who have returned to Rumbek since rebel Sudan People Liberation Army (SPLA) captured the town on April 30th were without food or medicines.
