SITUATION REPORT

The security situation in South Sudan remains unpredictable and highly volatile. Incidents of sporadic clashes and military mobilization continue to be reported in-and-around Bentiu town (Unity State) and in several locations in Upper Nile State.

Since the declaration of a cholera outbreak on 15 May, a total of 2,626 cholera cases and 63 deaths have been recorded as of 3 July. The case fatality rate stands at 2.4% (above the outbreak threshold of 1%). On 3 July, a major cholera outbreak alert was confirmed in Wau Shiluk (Upper Nile). Within a span of 72 hours, 246 suspected cases and seven deaths were recorded. Around 40,000 people in Wau Shiluk have little or no access to life saving health services or adequate sanitation facilities. The humanitarian community has deployed public health teams and contingency medical supplies to Wau Shiluk to respond to the emergency.

IOM RESPONSE

CAMP COORDINATION AND CAMP MANAGEMENT

The Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Cluster works to facilitate the effective and targeted delivery of life-saving services to IDPs in displacement sites. The CCCM Cluster ensures that basic humanitarian living conditions are provided, while also building the foundations for voluntary return and recovery interventions where it is possible and safe to do so. IOM and UNHCR co-lead the CCCM Cluster, in coordination with ACTED. IOM continues to act as CCCM state focal point in Upper Nile, Jonglei, West Bahr el Ghazal and Warrap.

HumanITarIan HubS

The CCCM Cluster is establishing humanitarian hubs, a common office and accommodation space ac-cessible to aid workers in key locations across South Sudan. IOM and UNMISS are collab-orating to establish and manage these hubs. There are three functional hubs located in UNMISS compounds in Ben-tiu, Malakal and Bor.

unmISS poc, bentiuEfforts are focused on augmenting WASH response at the Bentiu PoC, following the sudden population increase in June 2014. Upon the request of the WASH cluster, IOM has deployed a team to Bentiu to augment overall WASH response in the PoC. IOM is currently setting up a water system within the site to improve access to safe water in the site. IOM is also providing additional machinery to facilitate site improvement works. One tractor has already been deployed to the PoC and one back hoe is being transported from Juba.

HEALTH

IOM is the main Primary Health Care actor in Malakal (Upper Nile) and Bentiu (Unity) PoCs providing clinical assistance to IDPs, returnees and host communities. IOM extended mobile health services to the South Sudan-Sudan border area of Wonthou (Renk County, Upper Nile). IOM clinics provide curative consultations, health education sessions, routine immunization for children under five and maternal healthcare. Top morbidities for all sites continue to be upper respiratory tract infections, malaria and diarrheal diseases.

REFUGEE RESPONSE

Doro refugee campAs lead provider of WASH response at the Doro camp, IOM continues to meet the needs of the camp’s refugee population. All key water, hygiene and sanitation indicators are above the minimum standards. However, there remains a need to maintain these standards to prevent the outbreak and spread of waterborne diseases amongst the refugee population and surrounding host communities during the course of the rainy season.
