JUBA, JULY 6, 2023 (SUDANS POST) – The UN Humanitarian Coordinator ad interim for South Sudan, Peter Van der Auweraert, has released US$8 million to provide life-saving assistance to thousands of people who fled the Sudan conflict.

The funding will support the onward movement of people from transit sites to their destinations of choice, as well as the provision of food, health care, protection, shelter, and WASH assistance.

“This funding will facilitate activities to support the onward movement of people from transit sites to their destinations of choice,” said Mr. Van.

“The additional funds will also allow us to scale up the provision of lifesaving activities, including food, health care, protection, shelter/non-food items and WASH assistance to people in the transit sites,” he added.

Over 149,000 individuals have been recorded arriving in South Sudan since the conflict erupted on 15 April. Many people who fled the conflict in Sudan are arriving across the border with nothing.

“They need urgent support to reach safety and rebuild their lives,” said OCHA.

The funding was provided by the South Sudan Humanitarian Fund (SSHF) and the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF).

The SSHF is a pooled fund that provides flexible funding to humanitarian organizations in South Sudan. The CERF is a rapid response fund that provides funding for urgent humanitarian needs.

“With the generous contribution from the donors to the SSHF and CERF, humanitarians can help more vulnerable people arriving in South Sudan,” Van said.

“But, with no end to the conflict in sight, I am afraid that this may not be the last time we will call upon international solidarity to support South Sudanese returnees and refugees coming across the border,” he added.
