New arrivals wait in long lines for hours to register with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees at the Yida refugee camp in South Sudan along the border with Sudan on July 3. The Yida refugee camp has swollen
to well over 60,000 people as refugees flee from the South Kordofan region of Sudan, where ongoing clashes between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement have driven civilians from their homes. With arrivals ranging up to 1,000 a day crowding the camp, the
rainy season has also increased the numbers of sick children suffering from diarrhea
and severe malnutrition, as the international aid community struggles to provide
basic assistance to the growing population.
