Al Karama 5 hosts Sudanese returnees (former refugees) from Maban Refugee Camp in South Sudan. Most returnees reported leaving under highly concerning circumstances, driven by reduced humanitarian assistance, lack of access to basic services, and pressure to repatriate. The return journey exposed individuals to significant risks, including unsafe border crossings, exposure to active fighting, health threats, and loss of livelihoods. The site is located in Ed Damazin locality, Blue Nile State, and currently receives site management support from ACTED, which is expected to conclude by June 2026. The potential cessation of support poses serious risks to site level coordination and service delivery. Living conditions remain challenging, with major gaps in shelter, wash, and education services. Protection risks are high due to ongoing insecurity, limited lighting, family separation, and increased exposure of women and children to harm and child marriage and child labour, Most households rely on shelters constructed from locally available materials, while access to safe water and adequate sanitation remains insufficient. Site level coordination is currently conducted on a monthly basis.
