About Sudan

The deteriorating political and humanitarian situation has created and exacerbated a refugee crisis in South Sudan. Almost one third of the population was forced out of their homes due to the armed conflict to rural or hard to reach areas. These humanitarian crises in Sudan caused weaknesses in health systems, with particularly serious consequences for women, young and elderly people.

Active conflict and insecurity, as well as limited infrastructure resulted in limited presence of humanitarian players on the ground as well as difficulty in the delivery of assistance leaving the community and survivals in a complete state of vulnerability and fragility.

There are other crises in Sudan, it also suffers from climate change related issues to double its suffering and increase the vulnerability and fragility of the communities.

Othman and Sa’deya and their children are one family of 3.5 million people who fled their homes in South Sudan due to the great fear of the security conditions and the civil war. They lost very dear people because of those crises in Sudan and decided to flee their home before it is too late.

They needed a long especially children to overcome the traumatic events that they went throw. However, they still live in very dare humanitarian situation as the makeshift home that they moved to doesn’t provide any conditions for safety or protection.

Sa’deya talked about her harsh experience saying “I was forced with my family of my home; it is very difficult to live in fear so that you choose to leave everything behind and to save your soul”
