ICRC web site: South Sudan: Reaching millions affected by violence
11-07-2014 Photo gallery
IThe recent conflict in South Sudan has separated family members, many of whom go for months without news of loved ones as displacement and weak mobile networks in many areas of the country make such contact impossible. Through mobile or satellite phone calls organized by the ICRC and South Sudan Red Cross, many people are able to get in touch with family members, relieved to let them know that they are safe.
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.
