Escalating violence in South Sudan has forced more than 200,000 people to flee their homes, according to the UN refugee agency, UNHCR.

Peace talks have begun in neighbouring Ethiopia, but the risk of further clashes remains a real threat. Aid agencies have warned of a looming humanitarian catastrophe, as tens of thousands of people are forced to sleep under makeshift shelters, with limited access to clean water.

If you have been involved in the humanitarian response or if you are in South Sudan we would like to hear from you. Share your images, video and text using GuardianWitness to show us what life is like for you and the people around you.

Your security is a priority, and we recognise it may not always be safe to record or share your experiences. Please bear this in mind when sharing your content with GuardianWitness.
