00:51Women whose limbs have been cut and yet been troubled with their injuries to car because it's safer here.
01:04As of March of this year, over 42,000 individuals have fled from Sudan into car, including over 35,000 refugees.
01:16It's the war that got us here. We thank NGOs and the government who provided us with tarpaulins, mats, clothes, buckets, cups.

01:29Despite security gains in parts of CARM, millions remain displaced, hungry and vulnerable.
