Arriving in South Sudan with nothing but their stories of survival
Sarah
Originally from South Sudan, Sarah had moved to Sudan to marry her Sudanese husband, Uhsam. Now they have been forced to return.
They were preparing to flee Khartoum when a drone hit their neighbourhood.
“One of the fingers on my right hand was cut off,” Sarah explains. “My head was struck by shrapnel from the drone. Doctors told me the metal fragments must be removed urgently.”
Sarah was pregnant at the time. They planned to go to Egypt, but the bombings on route were too intense. They, therefore, settled in Omdurman, where Uhsam was killed.
Sarah picked up and fled to South Sudan with three-month-old Muheb in her arms. She learned of her husband’s death from a photo.
