Refugee camps in South Sudan are having serious problems when it comes to protecting the health of those who live there. Tens of thousands of refugees have arrived, and another 15,000 more are expected to come across the border before the end of the year. The situation is being described in catastrophic terms, and world aid organizations and governments are being asked to help resolve the problem.
“We are already stretched to the breaking point here, and any surge or increase in the population will make it nearly impossible to cope with the situation,” UNHCR’s Kathryn Mahoney told The Associated Press.
The roads in the area have become so bad that the World Food Program can only drop food from the sky. The population of one camp, called Yida, rose from 17,000 to 65,000 in just seven months. Workers say that during the summer months, 1,000 people arrived every single day, and the camp is now over-run with disease.
One official from the group “Doctors Without Borders” referred to his stay as “five weeks of h**l.”
Roughly two people per 10,000 are dying every single day, which is double the number that is considered to be an emergency. Around 25% of those admitted to the camp’s hospital are dying and most are malnourished ”In June, July it was so (bad),” recalled MSF Emergency Coordinator Foura Sassou Madi.
The group running the camp says that they are going to run out of resources if they don’t receive help. Let’s hope that they do.

Africans lived in peace for centuries recognizing each others religions and various ethnicities.Only when the opposite man came(opposites attract) did divide and conquer and fightin over trinkets become the game.With opposite clothes, language, geography,diet and values, they continue to beguild the multitudes. this is not child’s play…blow up a few dad guys and that’s it. The tricknowledgy is too sophisticated.You have to know your enemy, even if it’s yourself or part-self. Otherwise, tricksters(not only politicians like tricky d**k, but also Rev, Celebrities, Imams,Rabbi, Priest, media and personal lusts) will trick you up. Just living in these days of advanced deception will steal yo SOUL.Since colonialism(slavery in your hood or home country) Africa has had some of the most Rotten contemptible leadership on earth. Many nations including China had to go thru it. It’s not simple, like oh,all you need is bigger weapons or some like theirs.

Pat:
You are as silly as Derrick. Black African tribesmen were killing and raping each other to improve their own lot in life WAAAAAAAYYY before any white man showed up. Just like any culture, improving the quality of life has been going on since man stood upright. If you believe the blacks of Africa were a peaceful loving people, than you should drink the same Kool-Aid the white ultra-conservatives drink. You would be attacked and killed while your women were raped, all for a better hunting ground regardless of color and regardless of which continent you were on. As a black, you should be grateful the whites stuck up for your slave relatives or you would have been eliminated completely from the USofA. Now, all whites are the enemy even though they saved the black American. You would not have the right to write your thoughts had it not been for the majority of whites who stuck up for your ungrateful a***s. Peaceful, loving Africa. h**l, you have no fuking clue.

@gibbs:
THE ORIGINAL GODS AND GODDESSES WERE BLACK AFRIKANS!
CHECK:
“The human race arose originally in Africa, so it is most probable these ancestors were as black as the people living there now.
It is not likely these people had gods, as their intelligence was simply not developed to the stage where they would consider philosophically or religiously; the only things that mattered were the family and the clan/tribe, and keeping the spirits happy – spirits are not gods, just a form of personification in nature.
The human race rose out of Afrika aka Alkebulan [Garden of Eden]. Afrikans WORSHIPPED Spirits in nature, as they defied everything in nature, as the concept of God. They worshipped NATURE! (God did create nature).
A caucasoid xtian by the name of John Hawkins went from England to the Ivory Coast to enslave Afrikans. He was the FIRST cracker to TAKE Afrikan people from their land, to enslave them in eu(rope)! He used xtianity to ENSLAVE my people.
“When the missionaries, finally landed in Kemet/Egypt, they started to advance the God concept of xtianity. Afrikans had ONE God, but they saw God just as, people today see a car. A car has many parts to it, but still its one car. A car also has a passenger side and a driver side hence God & Goddess. Actually the FIRST concept of God was of a woman, as that’s where life comes from.”
Xtian missionaries MANIPULATED and DECEIVED Afrikan people into beLIEving their version of xtianity was the true god!
Afrikans were a LOVING and PEACEFUL [like the sister said], until the euroPEEans came and gave them liquor, then they stole their land! These missionaries were manipulators, and used religion, which suckered the Afrikans into allowing themselves to be used and exploited.
The missionaries went abroad to Afrika to “preach the gospel”, and thus suckered the Afrikan people into xtianity by using alcohol! Henceforth: ‘the lords supper’, which wine is used today!!!
These xtian missionaries were AGENTS FOR THE GOVERNMENT, TO OBTAIN THE LAND FROM THE AFRIKANS!!! They used xtianity and liquor to STEAL their land…and the rest is OURstory!
“When the white man arrived, he had the bible and we had the land; now, we have the bible and he has the land.” -Archbishop Tutu

Like Malcomn X said…YOU been had! YOU been hoodwinked! Rejecting GOD and righteousness is NOT and original AFRICAN idea!!! The opposite type thinking is; Don’t be deceived by the evil ones show. YOU have to be wise to fight this battle. Death with dignity and rightmindedness is the LIFE you crave. Martyrs like KING, MALCOLM, Stokley, Cabral are not dead. Find your strength…there is much worst to come beyond wars and rumors of wars. Look at the people they hate most and study the signs; They in the media despise certain people(black or white) more than the negro today.So…negro better grow up…

God is watching you fools to see what you gonna do. You don’t think black folks were involved in this tragedy? Think AGAIN! I’ve traveled a little…over AFRICA; whereever I went I saw negroes drink the drink(remember the natives-americans,aborrigines, examine histories of New Guinea, Hawaii; Look at all the aboriginals anywhere) and think the think of there OPPRESSORS. Its much deeper than what religion you blame. When you’re ignorant, you Love and emulate worship them and their lifesstyle of death. God’s lifestyle is LIFE!!!

NO COMMENTS ON THIS ARTICLE, EH?
Well, I’m gonna voice my anger because this shyt should not be going on…PERIOD!!!
These foreigners are STARVING, KILLING AND RAPING these Sudanese women for their economic greed! How can a continent big as the Motherland be in this condition? Because these yankees have been usurping this nation for decades and years! THIS DIDN’T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT!
It was a long process, since these bastards from england, ENSLAVED,and STOLE our people from the Ivory Coast for their gold, silver, copper and other raw materials. This has been going on since the early 1400′s and the hole has become wider and deeper!
It’s a d**n shame our OWN people, here in amerikkka, don’t give a d**n about OUR people in Afrika!!!
WHAT HAPPENS TO AFRIKANS IN AFRIKA, HAPPENS TO AFRIKANS HERE IN amerikkka!!!
WAKE UP FOLKS BECAUSE OVER 46 MILLION PEOPLE ARE STARVING EVERYDAY, RIGHT HERE [read that article].
THIS AIN’T NO JOKE!!!
By the way…where is this ‘god’ y’all always talk about?

Hey Derrick
I do not agree with you!
The Sudan has resources copper, chromium ore, tungsten, mica, silver, gold, zinc, and small reserves of iron ore.
What they have always been lacking is a society that does not rely upon a tribal system to manage the resources, the tribal leaders made agreement that benefited them personally and not the people or the country.
It will be America as it always is who come to the aid. Not the Muslims
