Urgent need for WASH and Health partners in South Darfur to support service coverage for growing refugee population.

By the end of 2017, UNHCR and partners received only 34 per cent of funds required to meet the needs of South Sudanese refugees in Uganda.

Over 3,700 new refugee arrivals fled to Sudan in December 2017 through South Darfur, South and West Kordofan and White Nile states.

Revised decreased of refugee figures for North Darfur, South and West Kordofan following completion of individual (biometric) registration.

According to WHO, the lack of laboratory services remains an ongoing gap for the refugee health response across Sudan.

Uganda received 354,456 new refugees arrivals from South Sudan in 2017

The Office of the Prime Minister succeeded in reducing the biometric registration backlog from 205,929 in January 2017 to 51,272 in December 2017

A first batch of newly constructed emergency shelters (192) were handed over to South Sudanese refugees in the new site of Kaka (Haut – Uele Province).

Preliminary findings from UNHCR SENS completed for West Kordofan indicate critical GAM and anaemia rates among refugee children aged 0-59 months.

East Darfur refugee population figure decreases by over 17,000 following completion of individual (biometric) registration for key out-of-camp settlement areas.
