Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Assistant High Commissioner for Operations at UNHCR the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), Raouf Mazou Friday called on the international community to provide South Sudan with climate-adapted development assistance to help it move away from dependency on humanitarian aid.<\/p>\n

Concluding a five-day visit to the country, Mazou appealed for greater international focus and support for the country at a time when historic floods for four years in a row have left nearly one million people in desperate need of assistance.<\/p>\n

Mazou visited Bentiu, in the north and hard hit by the floods, witnessing local initiatives aimed at protecting the population from the impact of flooding.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople who suffered from years of conflict are now at the frontlines of a climate crisis that has stripped them off the means to support themselves. This cycle must be broken, and we appeal to donors to make more resources available so that we can step up aid,\u201d said Mazou.<\/p>\n

South Sudan hosts over 340,000 refugees, mainly from Sudan. The country has received over 600,000 refugee returnees from neighbouring countries since 2018.<\/p>\n

In Torit, in the east and one of the areas hosting returnees, Mazou visited farming cooperatives where former refugees and local community members work together in a farming cooperative to earn a living.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am inspired by the resilience of these communities and the potential for solutions. I encourage our development partners to offer strong investment support in these areas so that basic services are accessible to returning families and the communities that welcome them,\u201d Mazou noted.<\/p>\n

South Sudan\u2019s refugee crisis remains the largest in Africa, with over 2.3 million South Sudanese refugees in neighbouring countries. Another 6.8 million people need urgent life-saving aid owing to sporadic violence between communities amid worsening food insecurity.<\/p>\n
