The children living in South Sudan's camps - in pictures
About
25,000 people live in two hastily arranged camps for the internally
displaced in Juba and nearly 40,000 are in camps elsewhere in the
country. Two weeks ago violence broke out in the capital and spread
through the nation, killing at least 1,000
People do their daily chores - including
bathing, washing clothes, cooking and fetching water - at a United
Nations compound which has become home to thousands displaced by the
recent fighting, in the capital Juba.A young boy at the UN compound which has become home to thousands displaced by the recent fighting, in the capital Juba.Children play games with an old tyre in the camp, making the most of what comes to hand.On the mattress outdoors where they sleep, a group of boys realise they are being photographed and react with amusement.Moveable stairs used for passengers to board aircraft have been repurposed into makeshift shelters for those in the compound.A small girl starts crying after the relative she was with disappears into a row of latrines.Children scatter, laughing, as an adult tells them to stop playing on top of a water truck in the compound.A small boy steps precariously across the mud on a mission to fill an empty bottle with water.A woman washes a baby in a basin outside her makeshift shelter in the UN compound.A boy grins widely as he mimics the
photographer taking a picture of him, using a fake jewel made of plastic
as his camera. Photographs: Ben Curtis for Associated PressCOPY http://www.theguardian.com/
