In South Sudan a multifaceted humanitarian crisis is currently unfolding, driven by a combination of factors, including communal conflicts, land disputes, widespread insecurity, violence, natural disasters, and cross-border displacement. These elements have created a challenging environment for the population, exacerbating the already dire humanitarian situation. The ongoing instability has led to significant disruptions in livelihoods and access to basic services, leaving many communities vulnerable and in urgent need of assistance.
Between October 16th and 31st, 2024, Raja County witnessed the arrival of 379 returnees from El Geneina in West Dafur. The majority of these individuals relocated within Raja County, primarily due to the deteriorating security conditions in Sudan. This movement indicates a potential stabilization in South Sudan that could encourage further returns in the future. However, while the returnees are hopeful about their reintegration into their communities, they face numerous challenges as they attempt to rebuild their lives after periods of displacement.
