A number of humanitarian agencies have been active in Yabus, including GOAL (of Ireland), ROOF (Relief Organization of Fazugli, Nairobi), CEAS (Church Ecumenical Action in Sudan)[2] and SIM (Serving In Mission).
The area is disputed between Sudan and South Sudan. In May 2011 it was reported that the Sudan People's Liberation Army was occupying Yabus, and the army of Sudan was threatening to occupy it. As a result, humanitarian agencies had to withdraw from the area.[4]
