Displaced Families in South Sudan

The war in Sudan has forced millions of people to flee their homes, creating one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises. Over 640,000 people caught up in the conflict have had to flee the country, with many taking refuge in South Sudan.

A lot of people seeking refuge are originally from South Sudan, now displaced by conflict for a second time in their lives. Hanna is one of these people, she and her family fled Sudan in the first week of the conflict breaking out.

I was 4 months pregnant and was afraid when we fled. I started to pray to God that he could lead us to our land safely. When I came to the camp the situation was not easy, my children got measles and they got medical attention. I stayed there in the hospital with them for some time
