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.

In the month of September 2024, Juba, Fangak, Fashoda, and Wau Counties witnessed the arrival of 7,481 returnees. All these individuals returned as a result of the ongoing crisis in Sudan. This movement highlights the impact of the ongoing Sudan conflict, forcing thousands to flee and seek safety. While returnees are hopeful about reintegrating into their communities, they might face significant challenges in rebuilding their lives.
