Within the next nine days, drinking water at refugee camps in South Sudan’s Upper Nile state will run dry, warned the aid agency Doctors Without Borders on Tuesday. Meanwhile, refugees continue to stream into the state, as the few camps set up to house to entrants are stretched even further beyond capacity. According to the most recent update by the United Nations, tens of thousands of people are currently moving from Sudan’s Blue Nile state, fleeing violence and fighting in Sudan that aid workers call “horrific”. During the first week of June, an estimated 4,000 people per day reportedly crossed the border into Upper Nile. http://www.ipsnews.net/2012/06/refugees-in-south-sudan-facing-full-blown-humanitarian-crisis/

About Intercultural Resources
Intercultural Resources is a forum for research and political intervention on issues related to the impacts and alternatives to destructive development. Our effort draws upon the social, cultural, material and intellectual resources that have been generated in the course of dialogues between people of different cultures on questions of social justice, development and self-rule.
We are of the view that dialogue can sustain plurality and open possibilities for recovery of the ground lost on account of inter-cultural alienation, which is manifest in a variety of forms of violence that we encounter everyday at different levels of social life.
Intercultural Resources is based in Delhi, India.
