Download logoUNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is seeing a surge in refugee arrivals from South Sudan in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). There are reports that an additional 8,000 people are displaced inside South Sudan, on the outskirts of the town of Yei. This is in South Sudan’s Central Equatoria State that borders DRC and Uganda. This is a remote area and border villages have almost no infrastructure or health centres. The conflict in South Sudan has created over 2.2 million refugees since 2013.
