The Yida refugee camp in South Sudan has swollen to nearly 60,000 as refugees flee from South Kordofan in North Sudan. Refugees are arriving at 300-600 a day, some walking five days and some walking two weeks or more to reach the camp. The rainy season has increased the number of sick children suffering from diarrhea and severe malnutrition, as the international aid community struggles to provide basic assistance to the growing population. Most have arrived with only the clothes they were wearing.
