'I was trapped and repeatedly raped'
On July 11 the compound at Hotel Terrain in Juba, which housed teams of international staff from a several organisations - many who were aid workers - was overrun by South Sudanese troops fresh from winning a battle with opposition forces.
Their rampage saw one Nuer journalist murdered, women raped and gang raped, dozens of staff assaulted and the whole compound looted.
A United Nations base was just up the road, less than a mile away, and the UN is now being accused of not responding properly to the attack. This is the story of that day told to Newsnight by five of the people who were there. To protect their identities we have asked actors to read out their words. Warning: This film contains deeply distressing testimony of sexual violence.
