As of 31 January 2015, Sudan witnessed the arrival of over 120,401 South Sudanese (Source:
UNHCR and SRCS). The White Nile state has received to date 66,376 refugees. White Nile has seven camps from the initial four when the operation started. Most of the Sudanese fled mainly to White Nile state, others proceeded to Khartoum state while others took refuge in Blue Nile, South Kordofan, West Kordofan, and East Darfur states.
The Sudanese Red Crescent Society (SRCS) continues to address the needs of vulnerable communities affected by complex emergencies arising from internal displacements, floods, and conflict through the support of the IFRC. A total of 5.5 million people (about 20% of Sudan’s population) have been identified as requiring humanitarian assistance across Sudan by the Humanitarian Country Team as of January 2015 considering the displaced populations throughout the Darfur states, South and North Kordofan, and Blue Nile, as well as the arrival of South Sudanese to Sudan. Ten months into the crisis, over 470,000 people from South Sudan operation are reported to have fled to neighbouring countries, including to Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda and Sudan. Recently, in the first weeks of October, over 2,200 South Sudanese were reported to have arrived in Sudan following the conflict in Renk County, South Sudan. The majority of these new displaced people are in White Nile. As of January 2015, Sudan witnessed the arrival of over 120,401 South Sudanese (Source: UNHCR and SRCS1), who fled mainly to White Nile state, but also proceeded to Khartoum state as well as taking refuge in Blue Nile, South Kordofan, West Kordofan, and East Darfur states. The rainy season in Sudan in the third quarter of 2014 brought more challenges with the consequent floods affecting over 266,000 people across thirteen states of Sudan, causing destruction of houses, latrines and key infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and schools. More than 44,000 families were reported to have been affected in the states of Khartoum,
River Nile, Northern State, Sennar, North Kordofan, South Kordofan, Kassala, Gezira, Gedaref,
West Darfur, White Nile, North Darfur and Blue Nile according to the rapid assessment reports of the Sudanese Red Crescent Society branches
