Part 1: Voices from Naivasha Camp | The Harrowing Reality

For two years, the people of Naivasha have been struggling to survive. No humanitarian organization has come to their aid. No government has acknowledged their suffering. Their only lifeline is the generosity of relatives abroad, sending whatever they can to help—but even that is not enough.

Throughout the war, some have managed to leave in search of safety, but many others stayed and others have arrived from other war-affected areas in Sudan, seeking shelter from the relentless violence. Now, over 3,812 families remain, facing unimaginable hardships.

Families who once had homes, jobs, and futures are now trapped in a makeshift camp with no food, no medicine, and no protection. Every day, people die—not from bullets, but from starvation, disease, and exhaustion. When death comes, there are no proper burials. The dead are wrapped in the clothes they perished in and buried by those who can still find the strength to dig a grave. More often than not, the energy to do even that is fading.

Children are the most vulnerable. Malnutrition is rampant, their small bodies weakened from lack of food. Mothers watch helplessly as their children cry from hunger, unable to provide even a scrap of nourishment. Some try to ease the pain by giving them water or tea—anything to keep their stomachs from closing.

There is no escape. The camp is surrounded on all sides—by the Sudanese Armed Forces in one direction and the Rapid Support Forces in the other. War looms over them like a dark cloud, and those who attempt to flee risk interrogation, imprisonment, or execution. The world remains silent.

How You Can Help

The Global Campaign & Emergency Humanitarian Response for South Sudanese in Sudan is working to amplify the voices of South Sudanese trapped in Sudan in places like Naivasha Camp and mobilize urgent assistance. We are calling for:

Direct Donations: You can help by donating to our GoFundMe page. Every contribution brings us closer to saving lives.

Emergency Humanitarian Aid: Help expedite the delivery of food, medical supplies, and hygiene essentials.

International Pressure: Lobby governments, NGOs, and global leaders to take urgent action to ensure that aid reaches Naivasha and that refugees are given safe passage.

We cannot do this alone. We need your help. Spread the word, donate, and advocate for immediate intervention. Every voice raised brings hope, and every action taken saves lives.

Without urgent intervention—without food, medical aid, and safe passage—this camp will become a graveyard. We must act now.

Part 2: Children of the Camp – Starving for a Future

In Naivasha Camp, childhood is defined by hunger. The innocence of play has been replaced by silence, weakness, and the haunting cries of children too malnourished to move. Families survive on nothing but water or tea, clinging to the hope that their children can hold on just one more day. Without immediate food aid, Naivasha’s youngest will continue to perish. Every missed meal brings them closer to the edge. We must act now.
