Everyone in this refugee camp in South Sudan knows someone who has died.



The Batil camp residents left Blue Nile, over the border in Sudan, after they say government planes bombed them and the Sudanese army attacked them.

The Sudanese government denies the claims. But more than 100,000 people have arrived in South Sudan’s Maban county over the last few months. Refugees wading through water and mud to fill their jerrycans at the Batil refugee camp
