SOUTH SUDAN REFUGEES SUDAN CONFLICT

Fleeing violence in Sudan refugees flee to South Sudan

epa10621735 People who fled the violence in Sudan carry plastic containers on their head as they walk past the informal settlement swelling near the refugees and returnees transit area set up by the UNHCR in the Upper Nile State town of Renk, South Sudan, 11 May 2023. Fleeing the armed conflict between the Sudanese military and the RSF (Rapid Support Forces) militia which started last 15 April, at least 30 000 people have arrived into South Sudan according to the UNHCR. Most of the refugees are part of some 800 000 South Sudanese who had fled the war in South Sudan in the first place and are returning to a country which is barely out of conflict itself with tensions still remaining in many areas and more than 2 million internally displaced people. Upon arriving at Joda border crossing the refugees head to a transit area set up by the UNHCR in the small town of Renk, where various UN agencies and NGOs assist them with registration, food, health check and logistics to leave Renk which is not equipped to house a large refugee population.
