South Sudan is heavily Catholic, 37 percent.
Agenzia Fides: Half of the expected number of refugees from South Sudan have already arrived in Sudan in the first two months of the year. The statement comes from the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). According to official figures, over 31,000 South Sudanese refugees have left the Country, fleeing famine and conflict. The famine, which was announced officially by the Government and the United Nations on 20 February, is particularly serious in some areas of Unity State. The first estimates indicate that over 80% of the new arrivals are mostly women and children, including unaccompanied children and those separated from their families. They need immediate life-saving assistance.
New refugees are transported to places where they can receive food, water and shelter. They are given kitchen kits to meet their basic needs. More on this here.
