Overview
The influx of refugees fleeing the conflict in Sudan is putting unprecedented pressure on humanitarian service delivery. Many humanitarian agencies are having to use an adoptive approach to cope with the gaps that keep cropping up due to the new arrivals.
CEN in Jamjang collected feedback from refugees in Ajuong Thok and Pamir refugee camps. The highest number of concerns highlighted the challenges in the registration process which is affecting access to service delivery. Other issues raised were on health, food and livelihoods. Most of the respondents were females and the elderly.
