Press Release: South Sudan’s Rally for Peace and Democracy

RPD10-Press Statement – Status of IDPs (PDF)

Rally for Peace and Democracy (South Sudan)
PRESS RELEASE ON IDPs

The Rally for Peace and Democracy is profoundly appalled by the rapidly worsening status of the Internally Displaced Peoples (IDPs) in various United Nations camps. Children are dying daily of causes related to undernourishment, waterborne and airborne diseases. As the camps keep swelling up daily, due to continued targeted killing of citizens, cases of acute food shortage have persisted and the situation in the camps has become direr. As security in towns keeps crumpling, even adults have started to die of hunger-related causes. The IDPs report that their food security situation in the camps is deteriorating further and that their repeated complaints are falling on deaf ears!
