Jamam Camp Snapshot, April 2013

Highlights

UNHCR began on 06 May 2013, the relocation of 18,200 Sudanese refugees from flood prone Jamam refugee camp, to the new site, Kaya, ahead of the onset of this year’s seasonal rains.

Clashes between host and refugee communities in Doro camp illustrate the possible threat of civil unrest across Maban. Efforts are underway to bring the two communities together.

Over 95% of refugee children have been immunized during the national polio immunization campaign this month.

Sudanese teen takes mother's advice to embrace education rather than fear it

GENDRASSA, South Sudan, May 13 (UNHCR) – Takwa Baderdin is a shy 16-year-old girl who avoids making eye contact with people she does not know, but at the mention of her recent academic success her downcast eyes light up with pride.

Like other children in South Sudan, Takwa was required to sit exams to complete her primary education. But unlike the majority of those children, Takwa and her family have faced life-changing challenges, fleeing their home in Sudan and restarting their lives in a refugee camp.

Determined young Sudanese refugee puts her education ahead of marriage

YUSUF BATIL REFUGEE CAMP, South Sudan, May 8 (UNHCR) – Just over a year ago, Aida Budjut's determination to continue with her education ran into stiff opposition from her grandmother, who believed that the 16-year-old should get married and bear children.

But Aida, a refugee from Sudan, would not be swayed and with the support of a powerful and progressive ally – her father – she is winning the argument. The teenager recently started a six-month course that prepares non-English speakers to learn the language and eventually teach primary school students in English.

YIDA, South Sudan, April 22 (UNHCR) – For four days, 16-year-old Hiba Ishmail Al Haji and her sister walked through the bush to escape the aerial bombings in Sudan's South Kordofan state that had already separated the girls from their parents. Along the way they begged for food and water from sympathetic locals, navigated military checkpoints and struggled with illness.
