Key Highlights:
As of the end of March 2025, South Sudan hosts 552,333 refugees and asylum-seekers across 140,445 households, settled in 29 locations nationwide. This includes 548,430 registered refugees and 3,903 asylum-seekers. The vast majority—94.9% (520,815 individuals)—are Sudanese refugees, followed by populations from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Central African Republic, and other nationalities. In response to the ongoing conflict in Sudan, the Government of South Sudan continues to grant prima facie refugee status to those fleeing the country. Among refugees, 51% are women, and 77% are women and children combined. The asylumseeker population is smaller and has a distinct demographic profile. Ethiopians (35.8%) and Eritreans (29.3%) form the largest groups, followed by Burundians, Ugandans, and Congolese. The latest data is available on the South Sudan emergency response portal.
