There is a humanitarian crisis unfolding in the world's newest country as thousands of refugees from Sudan are fleeing across the border into South Sudan.
South Sudan separated from Sudan last July and since then the Sudan has been waging a war against its own people.
Many believe the Arab state is trying to force out the African population inside the newly drawn border.
The conflict has gone largely unnoticed because it is in one of the worlds most remote and inaccessible areas.
Hundreds of refugees arrive daily at a camp just across the border in Yida South Sudan after they were driven from their homes in the Nuba hills by attacking Sudanese forces.
There are over 30,000 refugees at the camp, many of them children.
Much of the work in the camp is done by NGOs, the largest of which is the Christian aid group Samaritans Purse.
"The international community is only now starting to bring in the necessary supplies in terms of food and medical supplies that people need here," said John Clayton from Samaritan's Purse Canada.
Tiffany Young is an infant nutrition coordinator and manages the Samaritans Purse clinic.
"The two big things we've seen here are kids with pneumonia and kids with diarrhea," said Young.
Currently there are 24 children in the her care, but the camps population is expected to triple this year pushing her clinic past capacity.
"We could probably take up to 40 inpatients right now but if it went above that we're not prepared for that."
In fact the whole camp can barely handle the people it already has.
Despite the overcrowding, Nubian refugees continue to stream across the border heading to the camp because for all its hardships it's still a better place than they left.
