Mary Mabior, 37, mother of six from Wau
“After my village was looted, I decided to take my two youngest children away. We now live between Wau and Aweil, but there isn’t a nearby market and we receive no help here. My other children stayed in Wau with my blind mother. They receive food there, but it wasn’t safe. When I get money, I want to bring my whole family here. I go to the forest every day to collect wild fruit. My children are always hungry and I barely have any of the sorghum left that we brought. I don’t feel safe going back to Wau or to my village. There’s nothing left. I’d rather starve than go back.”
