South Sudanese seek refuge in Ethiopia
2/Nyakong, 22, has been hiding in a village with her family and their cows near Nasir in war-torn South Sudan for months. The village is unsafe, but the floodwaters are too high to bring her three young children to Leitchuor refugee camp in Ethiopia. We've survived by just drinking cow's milk, she says. Before the war, I was huge, but from lack of food I've got so thin. In the past five years, eight conflicts have erupted or reignited in Africa alone.
