Since onset of the South Sudan crisis in December 2013, there have been 10,151 recorded cases of unaccompanied, separated and missing children in 39 counties across 9 of the 10 states. Out of these, 2,136 children have been reunified with their families.
Considering the resource-heavy nature of the intervention, sufficient and timely funding is required, giving provision for the duration for reunification so as to enable more efficient response.
FTR agencies need the humanitarian space to assist vulnerable children in areas that have faced acess constraints as a result of the crisis.
