by CERF for life-saving assistance in Sudan
Khartoum- 3 February 2016 (UNHCR) - The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) welcomed the allocation of US$ 7 million by
the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) to help address some of the
most pressing needs of South Sudanese refugees in Sudan.
An estimated 198,600 South Sudanese have sought refuge in Sudan following the eruption of conflict in South Sudan in December 2013. The majority reside in
White Nile and Khartoum States.
“The timing of the CERF funds is critical. This is the first significant contribution
received this year. It will help address the increasing humanitarian needs of South Sudanese refugees fleeing conflict and violence at home, and finding safety in Sudan,” said Mohammed Adar, UNHCR Representative in Sudan.
The funds will be used to ease overcrowding in existing refugee sites and support protection, health, nutrition, water and sanitation, as well as emergency education.
Overcrowding has been a challenge in the seven sites where refugees have been
living in White Nile State, increasing the risks to their health and well-being.
CERF’s funds will support the opening of two additional sites and help address overcrowding.
The CERF funding being made available will support programmes that are
implemented in White Nile State by UNHCR and other UN agencies, including the United Nations Children’s Fund, the United Nations World Food Programme, the
United Nations Population Fund and the World Health Organization.
