SOUTH SUDAN: ‘More than one million children have fled escalating violence in South Sudan – UN’, UN News Centre, 8 May 2017

The escalating conflict in South Sudan had driven more than one million children out of the country, the United Nations announced today. The horrifying fact that nearly one in five children in South Sudan has been forced to flee their home illustrates how devastating this conflict has been for the country's most vulnerable. Add this to the more than one million children who are also displaced within South Sudan, and the future of a generation is truly on the brink. Children make 62 per cent of more than 1.8 million refugees from South Sudan, according to the latest UN figures.
