*** Local Caption *** In South Sudan, MSF is present in Yida, next to the border with Sudan. This village hosts a camp of refugees who escaped shellings in South Kordofan. MSF set up a small hospital and a clinics in the refugees'camp in Yida.
A new influx of 30,000 refugees crossed the border from Sudan's Blue Nile State into South Sudan's Upper Nile State over a period of about 2 weeks. They join the 70,000 refugees who are already hosted in overcrowded refugee camps. With no space left in the camps, and life-threatening shortages of water, a place of refuge with the basic life-sustaining essentials needs urgently to be found. MSF is providing medical care and treating 90,000 litres of water per day in their temporary gathering-place under trees in the harsh environment of this remote corner of South Sudan.
