Summary

[edit]
Description

International Development Minister Stephen O'Brien talks to Hehlan, 23, a refugee from Sudan, in the Jamam camp in South Sudan. She has three children and has been in the camp since November 2011. She fled with her children because of fighting near the border between the two countries.

The ‪British Government is providing emergency support to help 100,000 people facing severe food shortages in South Sudan.

International Development Minister Stephen O'Brien warned of a looming humanitarian crisis after visiting the Jamam and Doro refugee camps near the volatile border with Sudan, where over 80,000 people are stranded after fleeing the fighting across the border in Sudan’s Blue Nile State.

They are among more than 100,000 men, women and children who have been displaced by the violence between the two countries.

Hundreds of thousands of people are already facing hunger due to poor rain, insecurity and an influx of returnees from Sudan.

Speaking after his visit, Stephen O'Brien stressed that lifesaving emergency British aid is not the long-term answer to this avoidable disaster. He urged the governments of Sudan and South Sudan to find a lasting solution:

‪"What I saw at Jamam refugee camp is the very real human suffering of the ongoing problems between Sudan and South Sudan. A devastating combination of conflict and food insecurity is leading to a humanitarian disaster, which we must all do what we can to avert.

‪"We face a crisis on an unimaginable scale if those South Sudanese living north of the border are forced by the Government of Sudan to leave. I want to remind both governments that it is their own people who are suffering as a result of their inaction.

‪"Britain remains committed to helping the poorest people of this troubled region – but our aid budget is not a substitute for a lasting settlement."
