South Sudan is facing a mounting humanitarian crisis as tens of thousands of people pour across its northern border, fleeing the ongoing conflict in Sudan. The surge in refugees has overwhelmed border towns and reception centers, placing immense pressure on an already fragile system.

At key entry points such as Renk and Wunthou, overcrowded camps are struggling to cope with the influx. Many of the new arrivals are women and children, arriving with little more than the clothes on their backs after harrowing journeys through conflict zones. Medical personnel report rising cases of malnutrition, dehydration, and illness among the refugees.

The majority of those crossing are South Sudanese nationals returning home after years of living in Sudan, along with Sudanese civilians escaping violence in Darfur and Khartoum. Aid agencies are racing against time to provide food, water, medical care, and shelter, but resources are stretched thin.

Local officials warn that the rainy season threatens to cut off access to remote areas, making it harder to deliver life-saving support. With internal displacement also on the rise due to renewed clashes in Upper Nile and Jonglei states, South Sudan finds itself battling on multiple humanitarian fronts.

As the refugee flow shows no signs of slowing, authorities are calling for urgent support to prevent the situation from spiraling into a deeper emergency.
