Sudanese refugees in urgent need of humanitarian assistance

At least 370 individuals mostly women and children are camped under trees at the UN compound in Aweil. More than nine international agencies sent their representatives to assess the conditions of the stranded refugeesin Aweil town.

According to reports, these Sudanese citizens have been displaced from their homes since 2007-2009. From late 2015, they have been in Raja where they were getting humanitarian support from international organizations until last year when conflict engulfed Raja and deserted the area.

The reports were responded by the humanitarian cluster by sending in their representatives to assess their conditions. The team comprised of Nutrition, Non-Food Item, Relief and Repartitions Program (RRP), Food Security and Livelihood.

The refugees are hopeful that after the assessment by the humanitarian organizations, help will be accorded to them.
