The world’s youngest country, gained independence from Sudan in 2011 and is currently the poorest country worldwide.

 

In the 13 years since then, the country has been plagued by multiple civil wars and tribal conflicts. Sadly this is nothing new to them, as countless wars have been fought since Sudan’s independence from colonialism in 1956.

 

Now the war in Sudan, which has been raging for the past 18 months, has exasperated the problem, with thousands of refugees crossing the border into South Sudan over the past few months.

 

PCCR received a request for help through a contact and currently has a team in the country. We plan to assist one of the camps in a town along the River Nile, near the Sudan border.

 

Please pray for these people who have lost everything and are on the edge of starvation, and for our team as they complete the first distribution.
