ICRC web site: South Sudan: Reaching millions affected by violence
11-07-2014 Photo gallery
Insecurity has forced hundreds of thousands to flee, putting enormous pressure on very weak services. Across South Sudan, support is given to local health structures to ensure continuity of appropriate health-care services. The population of Kodok area, in Upper Nile State, has nearly doubled since the beginning of the conflict as people from nearby Malakal continue to arrive. The ICRC has assisted the existing primary health-care centre by deploying a mobile surgical team and a paediatric team.
South Sudan marks its third anniversary in the shadow of violence which has left hundreds of thousands in urgent need of assistance. Around the country, the ICRC helps build the resilience of conflict-affected communities with livelihood support and by improving access to clean water. It is also working to reunite families separated by conflict and other situations of violence.
