Lord Alton of Liverpool
Crossbench
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many people they estimate to have (1) fled the conflict in South Sudan, (2) been internally displaced in that country because of the conflict, and (3) died because of the conflict.
Lord Bates
The Minister of State, Department for International Development
The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) estimates that over 4.7 million people have fled their homes as a result of the conflict, including nearly 2 million who have been internally displaced.
A report published by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in September this year estimated that 383,000 South Sudanese people have died as a result of the conflict (either due to violence or the wider impact of the conflict on food security and health services) during the period December 2013 to April 2018.
