South Sudan refugee twins Jacob and Simon, 14, sit together at
the new arrivals centre in Kenya's Kakuma Refugee Settlement
on the Kenya-South Sudan border, February 1, 2018. They
walked with their mother Adut Akot Ker, 44 and 5 siblings for
21 days to get to Kakuma from Juba in South Sudan. They are
tramatised after their father and eldest brother were shot and
killed as they ran away from the fighting. As of October 31,
2017 Kenya had 111, 892 refugees from South Sudan. By
December 31, 2018 Kenya is projected to have 140,000
refugees from South Sudan. UN high commissioner for refugees
Filippo Grandi appealed to South Sudan's leaders to agree
peace.
