Nafisa, who fled war and violence in Sudan with her baby arrives in Maban, South Sudan.

Dear John,

You’ve recently heard from my colleague Amy who told you about our arrival in Maban, South Sudan and the work our colleague Alex is doing to support farmers like Haram and Awad. Alex and the UNHCR team are working with local partners to build 26 kilometres of dikes that will protect more than 300,000 people from flooding. It’s a big job, but crucial life-saving work.

Today, I’m writing to tell you about some of the families we met who were just arriving in South Sudan. Tired but relieved, they climbed aboard an old dusty bus as the sun started to set. After months witnessing the horrors of war in neighbouring Sudan, their homes and communities torn apart, they had finally found safety.

An old man called Suhak chatted to me as my colleagues helped everyone load their items into the luggage compartment. Holding his few belongings, he told me he had travelled alone and bought very little with him. A common story I heard that day from people fleeing the brutal war in Sudan.

Support Refugee Families Forced to Flee: [link removed]



“We used to live in safety and comfort. We used to eat, drink and study; we were happy. But then the war started. I miss my country, I miss my people, and I miss my loved ones. We were forced to leave. On the day I left, there was a lot of shooting, so I took my two children, and I fled without belongings.” Rayan Mustafa fled her home in Sudan.
As the conflict rages on, millions of people are struggling to find basic things like water and medical care. The Sudan emergency has become one of the largest and most devasting displacement crises in the world today, with a staggering one in three Sudanese forced to flee their home.

Nafisa, another sudanese refugee we met, clutched her baby as she watched other passenger's board the bus. A woman called Raja who comes from Tanago in Sudan, an area that borders South Sudan, came to sit next to her just as the bus departed. Raja and her children spent seven days travelling to reach safety.

We need your help to provide families like Rayan and Nafisa’s with essential items as they arrive across the border.([link removed])

The UNHCR team worked late to make sure everyone on the bus received essentials like blankets and plastic sheeting and settled them into new shelters in a nearby camp. Tomorrow, the team will do the same again, as more people who've fled their homes arrive in Maban looking for safety.

With your support([link removed]), we can protect some of the world’s most vulnerable people as they seek safety from violence and war.
Thank you,

Joshua Werema
UNHCR Communications Officer
