Hintergrund | Since the start of the fighting in Khartoum on 15.4.2023, the influx of people fleeing Sudan to South Sudan has increased exponentially at the multiple border points between the two countries. The authorities have identified 12 key entry points along the Sudan-South Sudan border where humanitarian actors are setting up transit facilities. UN and NGO partners mobilized to support the authorities in assisting people in hard-to-reach areas with very limited infrastructure and where local populations are already very vulnerable. The multiple impacts of this conflict puts an additional strain on the already dire humanitarian situation in South Sudan. Intercommunal violence, food insecurity, and the severe impact of climate change present constant challenges. The 2023 Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP), issued before the current crisis, estimates that 9.4 million people in South Sudan, including 2.2 million women, 4.9 million children and 337,000 refugees, and 1.4 million returnees, are in need of humanitarian assistance. |
