Context
By 2025, the impacts of the crisis in neighboring Sudan, the funding crisis in the humanitarian sector, and the resurgence of political tensions have only exacerbated the situation.
Result: 10 million people will need humanitarian aid in 2026.
Among them, 7.5 million people are expected to face high levels of food insecurity: South Sudan is one of three countries in the world at risk of famine, alongside Gaza and Sudan. This risk is particularly high in areas where conflict has resumed, notably in the Sobat corridor in Upper Nile State.
Furthermore, since the start of the conflict in Sudan in 2023, more than 1.3 million people have fled to South Sudan. A significant proportion of these people entered through Upper Nile State, placing considerable pressure on already vulnerable services and communities.
In this dire context, public health risks are extremely high, as communities have limited access to safe drinking water and sanitation. As a result, they are frequently affected by cholera outbreaks, exacerbated by recurring floods that damage infrastructure and disrupt basic services.
This catastrophic humanitarian situation is all the more difficult to address given that reaching affected populations is a major challenge and that international funding for the humanitarian sector has been drastically reduced.

SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL carries out humanitarian operations in Upper Nile thanks to its ongoing presence in the areas of Renk, Malakal, and Ulang, as well as along the Nile and Sobat corridors. The NGO conducts emergency operations in the rest of the country through its mobile teams.
In coordination with its international and local partners, the NGO provides support to populations affected by conflict, natural hazards, health epidemics, and population displacement.
Through emergency response mechanisms, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL addresses the basic needs of the population nationwide, notably by ensuring access to safe drinking water, hygiene, and sanitation, and by providing food security support.
Beyond emergency response, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL works to strengthen the resilience of local and displaced communities by improving access to essential services and livelihood opportunities, and by helping people preserve their dignity and health.
