Juba, South Sudan — The relocation of Sudanese refugees from Malakal in Upper Nile State to the Ajoung Thok camp in Unity State continued during the reporting period with a total of 286 individuals being transported by truck convoys. The refugees initially travelled in two boats from Malakal to Rubkona - a journey of more than 30 hours - where they received medical attention, food and accommodation at a transit centre.
The first road convoy set off for Ajoung Thok on 11 September, with the second departing three days later. At the camp, families were provided with a plot of land as well as food rations and humanitarian supplies. The refugees are part of a larger group of more than 2,100 individuals who began arriving in Upper Nile in July after fleeing their homes in Sudan's South Kordofan state. The population of Ajoung Thok now stands at more than 4,800 people.
