IOM #SouthSudan situation report (15 July 2014)

IOM OIM•IOM South Sudan

SITUATION REPORT

Over 1.1 million people remain internally displaced across the country and over 399,000 people have fled the violence to neighbouring countries (Uganda 118,400, Kenya 41,100, Ethiopia 158,200 and Sudan 82,000). There are currently 97,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) sheltering in seven UN bases across South Sudan.

The onset of the peak rainy season has complicated the delivery of humanitarian aid to many areas in Jonglei, Unity and Upper Nile states. Humanitarian actors are increasingly relying on air transportion to deliver lifesaving supplies. The threat of cholera and waterborne diseases is a growing concern in displacement sites, especially in remote locations where thousands remain vulnerable without access to basic services.

68,720 health consultations have been provided to date

43,431 households provided with Shelter and NFI assistance since January 2014

IOM clinics provide curative consultations, health education sessions, routine immunization for children under five and maternal health care.

REFUGEE RESPONSE

As 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.
