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.
