What's happening to people in South Sudan?
Since the conflict began, 1 in 7 people in South Sudan have been displaced. More than 2.2 million citizens have been forced to flee their homes. Just over 620,000 people have escaped to neighboring countries in search of safety, but most are trapped inside the warring nation.

Those who’ve escaped have lost loved ones and their homes, their land and their livelihoods. Violence toward civilians has been widespread, including targeted attacks, kidnappings and murders.
People can’t work, farmers can’t plant — all people can do is hope to survive until there is an end to the brutal fighting. They are scared of the future and most just want to have a home again, and to send their children to school. https://www.mercycorps.org/articles/south-sudan/quick-facts-what-you-need-know-about-south-sudan-crisis
