  • People line up jerry cans before dawn in the Rhino Refugee Camp in northern Uganda. As of April 2017, the camp held almost 87,000 refugees from South Sudan, and more people were arriving daily. About 1.8 million people have fled South Sudan since civil war broke out there at the end of 2013. About 900,000 have sought refuge in Uganda. <br />
<br />
Because water pumps in the camp are solar-powered, water can only be obtained during daylight hours. Refugees will therefore line up their jerry cans overnight in order to be among the first to get water in the morning.<br />
<br />
The Global Health Program of the United Methodist Church has supported work to improve access to safe drinking water in the camp.

  • Women line up for food being distributed by the United Nations World Food Program in Agok, a town in the contested Abyei region where tens of thousands of people fled in 2011 after an attack by soldiers and militias from the northern Republic of Sudan on most parts of Abyei. Although the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement called for residents of Abyei--which sits on the border between Sudan and South Sudan--to hold a referendum on whether they wanted to align with the north or the newly independent South Sudan, the government in Khartoum and northern-backed Misseriya nomads, excluded from voting as they only live part of the year in Abyei, blocked the vote and attacked the majority Dinka Ngok population. The African Union has proposed a new peace plan, including a referendum to be held in October 2013, but it has been rejected by the Misseriya and Khartoum. The Catholic parish of Abyei, with support from Caritas South Sudan and other international church partners, has maintained its pastoral presence among the displaced and assisted them with food, shelter, and other relief supplies.

  • Nurul Huda fishes from his small fishing boat off the Indonesian island of Nias. Huda, a resident of the seaside village of Olora, survived a giant March 2005 earthquake on Nias, yet lost much of his fishing equipment. Church World Service, a member of the ACT Alliance, provided new nets and boats for the fishers of Olora, allowing them to restart their lives. Yet fish have grown scarce in recent years, while fuel prices have risen, making it harder for fishers to earn a living. Huda no longer can afford a motor, and so fishes closer to the island, where the fish are smaller. Climate change has also made it more difficult to predict fish movements, and changing weather patterns can surprise the fishermen at sea. Huda, not surprisingly, wonders if his 16-year old son should pursue another line of work.

  • Women line up to receive food from the ACT Alliance in Rumading, a village in South Sudan's Lol State where more than 5,000 people, displaced by drought and conflict, remain in limbo. In early 2017, they set out walking for Sudan, seeking better conditions, but were stopped from crossing the border. They remain camped out under the trees at Rumading, eating wild leaves as the rainy season approaches. <br />
<br />
In early April, Norwegian Church Aid, a member of the ACT Alliance, began drilling a well in the informal settlement and distributed sorghum, beans and cooking oil to the most vulnerable families, including these women. The ACT Alliance is carrying out the emergency assistance in coordination with government officials and the local Catholic parish.
