More than 19,000 refugees from South Sudan are stranded right on the border between South Sudan and Sudan in the regions of Renk, Aweil, and Bentiu. These refugees have traveled on foot for hundreds of miles before reaching the border line. Others have used trucks, and some have made their way to the border on donkeys and camels. Most of them are exhausted, many are sick, dehydrated, and there are no medicines, food, or other essential items.
Just last week, 9 people died in refugee camps due to the lack of food and other essential items in the settlement. Life in refugee camps in South Sudan is hell! Repatriates from South Sudan are living in terrible conditions. Our churches in the Malakal area are taking in thousands of people and asking for help in this serious situation. There are reports of genocide, rape, and looting in the Genna and Darfur regions. Most hospitals have been destroyed due to ongoing fighting. Most churches in these regions of Sudan have been burned down, and believers have moved to Chad.
Thank you for taking the time to pray for these needs! We are tired of war and ask for prayers for believers in this region so that they may not be silenced and can continue to preach the Gospel!
