Living in limbo at Egypt’s border

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

After over one month of fighting in Sudan, the UN has said that more than a million people have been displaced by the conflict. While many fled to Egypt, some families have had difficult entering the neighbouring country. We hear from one South Sudanese family who have been living in the border town of Wadi Halfa for nearly one month in a mosque. They have been unable to get visas to cross into Egypt.
