2026-09-27

South Sudan continues to receive individuals fleeing conflict in Sudan, facing challenges in providing basic services to returnees.

Key developments

New arrivals from Sudan, like Adut and her six children, are seeking refuge in reception centers such as Majokyinthio in Northern Bahr el Ghazal. These individuals have endured arduous journeys marked by insecurity and limited access to essential resources. Efforts are underway to restore stability for families settling in informal settlements like Nyinthio, focusing on access to basic services.

Key concerns

Returnees face significant challenges in accessing safe water, food, and adequate shelter upon arrival. The long journeys from Sudan expose individuals to insecurity and checkpoint delays, further exacerbating their vulnerabilities.

Humanitarian impact

Displacement from Sudan continues to impact South Sudan, with individuals arriving with urgent needs for basic services. The influx of returnees places additional strain on existing resources and humanitarian response efforts.

Information gaps

Details on the specific health needs of the new arrivals and the overall public health emergency preparedness in areas receiving returnees are not yet covered in recent reporting.
