UNHCR: New, deadly floods displace over 100,000 in South Sudan; conflict and funding cuts impede aid | UNHCR South Sudan has been swept into a new cycle of severe flooding,Β just as renewed conflict threatens a fragile peace, leaving communities in some of the country’s most flood- and conflict-prone states e...

With only a third of required funds received, UNHCR has been forced to scale back.

Without urgent international support, families devastated by conflict and climate shocks will be left without the protection, water and dignity they deserve. www.unhcr.org/news/briefin...

UNHCR is prioritizing life-saving aid for 150,000 people:

➑️ Emergency cash and shelter support
➑️ Plastic sheeting for damaged homes
➑️ Water pumps and dykes to drain floodwaters

But resources are perilously low.

South Sudan is facing multiple crises.

Deadly floods have already displaced over 100,000 peopleβ€”while renewed conflict leaves fragile communities exposed and aid stretched thin.

β€œWe are right now facing a deadly cocktail of a mix of forced displacement which is on the increase and at the same time financial aid cuts.”

🚨 Over 165,000 people have fled conflict in South Sudan in the past three months.

As tensions rise, families are being uprooted againβ€”both within the country and across borders. The humanitarian situation is worsening fast.

He built a farm. A business. A future for his kids.

Then war took everything.

Idris is 1 of nearly 13 million Sudanese forced to flee.

Sudan is tired. Its people deserve peace, not just survival.

Don’t look away. #KeepEyesOnSudan

Two years of war in Sudan.
1 in 3 Sudanese displaced.
Every day, families flee war, hunger & violence.
Hope alone can’t build schools.
Solidarity can’t fund clinics.
We can't let this become a forgotten crisis.

Two years of war in Sudan.

Millions displaced. Futures lost.

Our colleague UNHCR’s Omer met Sudanese refugees in Chad.

He carries their message: β€œSave Sudan.”

It’s time the world listened.

Two years of war in Sudan.
Nearly 13 million people forced to flee.
Children out of school.
Clinics empty.
Still underfunded. Still underreported.

πŸ“’ Sudanese families can’t wait.

πŸ’” War has torn Sudan apart, forcing families like Mahamoud’s to flee.

Now in South Sudan, UNHCR’s support is helping him rebuild. With shelter, essentials and income from a small shop, he’s working toward independence as his children pursue their education.
