Sudan’s Nuba Mountains Offer Relative Security but Growing Humanitarian Needs

Amid the turmoil in Sudan, the Nuba mountains bordering South Sudan, and long controlled by the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement North, has become a haven of relative security, but far from untouched.  An estimated 700,000 internally displaced people from other parts of Sudan have arrived in the Nuba mountains.  As a result, it is both necessary and possible to scale up the humanitarian response.
