Part 4: Nowhere is Safe – Living Under Constant Threat

For the South Sudanese trapped there, Naivasha Camp was meant to be a place of refuge, but it has turned into a hunting ground. Armed groups raid homes at will, searching for money, phones, or anything of value. The most vulnerable: widows, orphans, and the elderly are the easiest targets. Families sleep in fear, knowing that at any moment the door could be kicked open, and everything they have left could be taken.

There is no law, no protection, and no escape. Some residents have tried to resist, only to face brutal beatings and sometimes execution. Others have been forced to flee with only the clothes in their backs. With war looming on all sides and no safe place to run, Naivasha’s refugees remain trapped. They are defenseless against both war, and the criminals who prey on their suffering.

Part 3: Buried Without a Name – Death and Dignity in Naivasha Camp Omdurman

In Naivasha Camp, death is a daily reality, but dignity in death is a luxury few can afford. Without proper burials, the deceased are laid to rest in whatever they perished in, their graves dug by those barely strong enough to lift a shovel. The rituals that once honored the dead have faded, replaced by the stark struggle to survive. Yet, even in these bleak moments, the community clings to its humanity, doing what little they can to ensure that no one is forgotten.

Part 1: Voices from Naivasha Camp | The Harrowing Reality

For two years, the people of Naivasha Camp in Omdurman—primarily South Sudanese refugees—have lived on the edge of survival, forgotten by the world. No humanitarian organization has come to their aid. No government has acknowledged their suffering. Trapped between warring factions, they face starvation, disease, and relentless violence. Their only lifeline is the generosity of relatives abroad, but even that is not enough. As death becomes a daily reality, those who remain are left with one desperate plea—help us before it is too late.
