World Vision Sudan Crisis and Migration Emergency Response in South Sudan

One year on, the situation of the refugees and South Sudanese returnees from Sudan, remains dire and the humanitarian needs continue to exacerbate. Since April 15,2023, over 600,000 people who fled the conflict in Sudan have crossed into the South Sudan border. To date, UNOCHA estimates at least 1,000 arrivals at the South Sudan entry points daily.
World Vision in South Sudan continues to respond to the Sudan Crisis, particularly the transit centres in Renk, Bulukat, and Maban in Upper Nile State, and Aweil East and Aweil North in Greater Bahr el Ghazal.
“There is still a high number of people crossing into South Sudan and onward transportation of returnees remains a challenge. The transit centres are unable to provide adequate services. The needs are immense and complex. Funding and more coordinated efforts are needed urgently. It is our prayer that the conflict in Sudan comes to an end, and the suffering of its people stops.” ~ Mesfin Loha, World Vision South Sudan Country Director.
World Vision, through the support of our donors and partners, implement an integrated programming approach where different sectoral projects complement each other to ensure that the displaced people and their host communities are supported with their immediate food needs, access nutrition and health services, access to clean and safe water and dignified sanitation, as well as provision essential non-food items, such as temporary shelter materials, blankets, mosquito nets, among others, to the refugees, returnees, and host communities.
We thank our donors: Global Affairs Canada, Irish Aid, UNICEF, USAID, ADH, GFFO, BMZ, and our World Vision offices for supporting our emergency response, particularly our emergency WASH interventions and health interventions, providing access to safe and clean water, and health services to the displaced children and families in the transit centres and nearby communities.
