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

In the heart of Naivasha Camp in Omdurman Sudan, the childhood of South Sudanese refugees has been stolen by hunger. The laughter that once filled the air is replaced by the cries of ailing children. Too malnourished to move, they can no longer play. Mothers watch helplessly as their children shrink before their eyes, their small bodies reduced to little more than skin and bone.

With no food and no relief in sight, many families survive on nothing but water or tea, hoping it will prevent their intestines from shutting down. Every day is a battle to stay alive. Malnutrition not only weakens the body but also erodes hope. Children who should be learning, growing, and dreaming instead spend their days in listlessness. Too weak to walk, too hungry to cry.

Leave alone the ongoing war, the constant bombardment and shelling, but hunger is now the other killer. We can do nothing but watch.

For mothers, the pain is unbearable. “I can no longer count the number of times I’ve watched a child die,” says one resident. “Leave alone the ongoing war, the constant bombardment and shelling, but hunger is now the other killer. We can do nothing but watch.”

Without immediate food aid, the youngest in Naivasha will continue to perish. Every meal missed brings them closer to the edge. We must act now.

Part 4: Nowhere is Safe – Living Under Constant Threat

Inside Naivasha Camp, war isn’t just an outside threat—it has seeped into their daily lives. Armed groups raid homes, stealing the little the refugees have left. With no protection and no authority to turn to, fear rules the night. Every knock at the door could mean violence, theft, or worse. Survival isn’t just about food and water—it’s about making it through the night alive.

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.

Part 6: A Plea for Rescue – The Urgent Need for Evacuation

The time for discussion is over. It is time to act.
