South Sudan: Reaching millions affected by violence

South Sudan marks its third anniversary in the shadow of violence which has left hundreds of thousands in urgent need of assistance. Around the country, the ICRC helps build the resilience of conflict-affected communities with livelihood support and by improving access to clean water. It is also working to reunite families separated by conflict and other situations of violence.

On the ground, the ICRC works hand-in-hand with the South Sudan Red Cross to provide aid and support to people made vulnerable by the conflict. Since December 2013, the ICRC has distributed food and essential survival items to many thousands of people, and performed more than 2,000 surgeries on patients injured by the clashes.
