South Sudan: January to June 2025 Facts & Figures
Following the escalation of armed conflict and violence across South Sudan in the first half of 2025, the ICRC stepped up its surgical capacity conducting hundreds of surgeries on weapon-wounded patients.
We continued working to protect the lives and dignity of affected populations by reuniting separated families or putting them in contact, searching for missing persons, and improving the treatment and living conditions of detainees. We provided a wide range of services, including health care, emergency relief and physical rehabilitation for persons with disabilities.
Affected communities and individuals were informed about available services and criteria, had access to critical, actionable information, and available mechanisms to provide feedback. Meanwhile, we continued our dialogue with the parties to the conflict to remind them of their obligations under international humanitarian law (IHL), and sensitization of all actors involved in armed violence about humanitarian principles.
In response to a significant influx of people fleeing the conflict in Sudan, we provided humanitarian aid to thousands of Sudanese refugees and South Sudanese returnees. Most of our activities are conducted in partnership with the South Sudan Red Cross (SSRC).
