More than 8,000 refugees remain stranded at a temporary transit site known as ‘KM 18’ in South Sudan as mortality rates in areas of Maban county rise above emergency levels. The refugees were being moved at a rate of 1,500-2,500 per day last week to a new site named Yusuf Batil. This number has now reduced significantly to 200 in recent days as heavy rains have made the roads impassable.
