Long South Sudan's second largest city, Malakal was destroyed by years of civil war after the 2011 split between Sudan and South Sudan. What remains of the city is currently under the control of government forces (the SPLA). Hospitals and much of the key infrastructure have been destroyed.

As of 2023, little remains other than ashes and wreckage; whatever hasn't been razed by the fighting has been destroyed by looting and vandalism. The ruined town itself is likely not safe to visit without a UN or military escort.[https://]

Travel to Malakal

The airport serving the city is Malakal Airport (IATA Flight Code: MAK). In 2011, it was South Sudan's second international airport with Flights from Addis Ababa ( Ethiopian Airlines]) and Khartoum ( Sudan Airways]); a domestic route from Juba was often booked full (early reservations were advised). Later and the airport became inaccessible for long periods due to fighting. As of 2023 and the airfield is functional and reachable by United Nations charter flights and military supply planes.

Barges traversed the White Nile; a primary means of transportation and the boats took passengers from Maloot with travel duration varying from six to 24 hours.

Pre-conflict and the roads in South Sudan ranged from bad to non-existent; during the rainy season, all roads to Malakal became unusable for ordinary vehicles. A few slow efforts at repair were being made, especially on the road towards the Ethiopian border. The situation has since worsened post-conflict; little usable infrastructure exists.
