Over three thousand South Sudanese are still stranded in Kosti waiting to be transported home.
 
The Auxiliary Bishop of Khartoum Archdiocese Daniel Adwok Kur told CRN that people were waiting in the camp in very hard conditions for the last two years.
 
He lamented that the number is shifting because they go and look for food as defend on themselves since there is no organization allowed to take care of them and that many have sold their properties out to survive.
 
Bishop Adwok said the people are living in a place of stagnant water with a very poor hygienic situation. 
 
The Prelatesaid the people in the camp came to Kosti to get the train that could take them to Wau, and some to Malakal, Bor and Juba. 
 
He said there is no direction for their future after staying in Kosti for two years.
 
Bishop Adwok appealed to the national government and non-governmental organizations to help by taking the stranded people from Kosti to Renk.
 
He also lamented that two years means children were out of school for two years. 
 
Bishop Adwok said the families in the camp cannot provide for their own transport without external support and their dire conditions will not change.
