| Description |
South Sudan, Juba, February 2014. IDPâs is South Sudan find a safe shelter at the UN compound in Juba, the UN House IDP Camp. Context: Mary and her sister Martha Aylynyayuach are IDPâs at the UN House compound in Juba. They are currently preparing Kob, which is a South Sudanese staple made from maize flour. Itâs a delicacy that is usually prepared with butter and meat or dry fish. Today however, Kob will be served without any additions. Mary, careful not to overcook the food, leans over sauce pan and stirs it. She then uses a stick to adjust the charcoal burning in the metal stove. Charcoal she bought with vouchers she received from Oxfam. As the food starts to singe, she adds clean water from a jerry can next to the makeshift shelter they are forced to live in now. The water they use is collected from a water point constructed and maintained by Oxfam at various points of the camp. Mary: âI arrived in the camp the second day after the fighting started. We heard gunshots at night and had to stay indoors until the next day because it was too dark and too dangerous to go anywhere. The next day, we left for the UN compound. We had heard stories about UN House before and were told that people were going there. We have been here for close to two months.âI use to grow and deliver vegetables to various restaurants in Juba but I left everything and came here. I left my house and all my belongings. Look, we donât even have shoes.ââLife here is not easy. The food is very basic â just grains. Not what we have grown used to but itâs better than nothing. When we first arrived, there were no tents or shelters. There was no one responsible, we just came into the camp and sat in the space that our tent now stands. After a few hours, we received some canvas, food, utensils and other things. Now we need things like soap to wash our clothes. We only have these ones.ââI am here with my sister Marthat Aylynyayuach and her four children and my two grandchildren. The children used to go to school but cannot anymore. At least they have the UNICEF school â they go every morning.âMartha (approx 40): âThe conditions weâre living in now are not great, but at least we are safe. The camp security is good and we feel fine. There is water, food and dignified places to go to the bathroom and toilet. Things could be much worse. Now that the rains are coming, I fear for our health and safety. These tents cannot protect us from the rains. The water will come through and we will be exposed. We sleep on the ground and this will not be possible with water everywhere. I am hoping and praying that the organisations help us with this as the rains are drawing closer and closer.âMary: âI know that the president and his soldiers started this. They will not stop. The fighting will not end until there is a new government in place. No one helped us when we were running â we had to fend for ourselves. The government did not help us.â âIf everything was normal and we were at home, I would probably be going to the market to get some supplies for the restaurant and my sister would be collecting firewood. Now â we hear that fighting is everywhere. We have to stay here and it feels like a prison. I feel like the fighting will never end. God is the only one that can help us now.âphoto: Petterik Wiggers/Panos Pictures |
