Sudan |
The conflict in South Sudan that started on 15th December 2013, has caused fatalities and displacement among the civilian population. People have been wounded and many have fled their homes, of which some has crossed the borders to neighboring countries, including fleeing to Sudan. Until now, despite a peace agreement, insecurity remains in South Sudan, causing continued displacement and uncertainty for people, influencing their decisions not to return home yet. This translates into an increase in the humanitarian assistance demand. Latest figures suggests that more than 700,000 internally displaced and almost 150,000 persons that have fled into neighboring countries. Sudan has up to date received more than 20,000 persons, of which most are received in White Nile State. |

Tech. Disaster |
Thailand |
On March 22, 2013, a tragic technological incident occurred within the confines of the Mae Surin refugee camp, located in the northern Thai province of Mae Hong Son. The calamity took the form of a devastating fire, inflicting substantial damage and loss.
Regrettably, the fire resulted in the loss of 42 lives, and it left a trail of destruction in its wake. Approximately 100 shelters within the Mae Surin refugee camp were consumed by the relentless flames. It is worth noting that this camp primarily served as a refuge for ethnic Karen refugees from neighboring Myanmar, who had fled the conflict between guerrilla forces and government troops.
The fire's impact was profound, not only in terms of human lives lost but also in terms of the displacement and suffering experienced by the vulnerable refugees who called this camp their temporary home. This tragic event underscores the importance of fire safety and disaster preparedness in refugee and displaced persons' settlements.

Flood |
Thailand |
In the summer of 2013, on the 31st of July, a devastating riverine flood wreaked havoc in the Mae Sot district of Tak province. This natural disaster, characterized by its torrential nature, resulted in considerable losses. Mae Sot, a town situated along the border with Myanmar, found itself in the throes of this catastrophic event. Nearby, across the border, the Myanmar town of Myawaddy also bore the brunt of the disaster, leading to the evacuation of approximately 7,000 residents. The flooding's genesis was attributed to the deliberate opening of floodgates upstream from these two towns, compounding the already dire situation. |
