Storyline

After early morning rains pounded in South Sudan's capital Juba today (19 July), hundreds of displaced who were caught up in the rain in their open air shelters, begun to sort out their belongings, airing them to dry.

Many of them sat on muddy grounds, and on wet grass, as there was nowhere else to shelter.

For many of them, this difficult situation is their only chance at staying safe.

SOUNDBITE (English) Displaced Man:
“All things are put out because of the rain. Things are wet and even the situation is very bad because even you can see these children when they are staying in a place where there is rain, it cannot be good, but because of the situation, I wasn't happy, and actually I am not happy, but because I have nowhere to go this is why I am here now."

Cooking pots and personal items littered the grounds where the displaced are seeking shelter at a United Nations compound.

“We need peace. We need peace because Children are suffering. We were outside South Sudan, but what brought us back was our country, irrespective of the situation. One can stay because it is their country where one has rights. Even if someone wrongs you, you will be able to respond, but if you are in another country, you will face difficulties. So we came here because it is our country, but we honestly need peace in South Sudan. Children are suffering. There is no education, no stability, so we need peace as women."

Unofficial estimates, which have been tallied by displaced, put the number of those who have been recently displaced and are sheltering at the Tomping site, at about 9,000.
