An Australian military transport aircraft has landed in South Sudan with critical equipment and supplies to support the United Nations mission in the strife-torn nation.
A RAAF C-17A Globemaster carried three containers of tents, and equipment for water purification and sanitation.
UN spokesman Nicholas Von Ruben said the equipment was vital for thousands of displaced people.
"We're grateful to the Australian government for providing this support at such short notice," he said in a statement on Monday.
An additional RAAF C-130J Hercules aircraft at Al Minhad Air Base in the United Arab Emirates remains available to support the UN mission.
