50,000 South Sudanese take refuge in Darfur ED DAEIN (27 Aug.) At least 50,000 South Sudanese have fled into East Darfur this year, OCHA said in a statement. Over 30,000 have traveled to the Khor Omer camp in Ed Daein.
The influx of South Sudanese is "driven by deteriorating food security and continuing violence in South Sudan. The majority of the new arrivals are women and children who arrived in East Darfur in poor nutrition and health conditions, with very few opportunities for livelihood and subsistence activities," OCHA said in an update. OCHA said that the government has been actively involved in the response of East Darfur, but insecurity in the region limits the humanitarian response in the area. "This influx is critically stretching the available resources and operational capacity of partners already carrying out the response in White Nile, South Kordofan, and West Kordofan, where the flow of new arrivals from South Sudan continues," OCHA said. -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/southsudankob View this message at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/southsudankob/topic-id/message-id For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
