I have been asked to reply on behalf of the Department for International Development.
The British embassy in Juba receives regular reporting from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). So far, in 2012 roughly 113,000 South Sudanese have returned to South Sudan.
