Sexual violence, including rape, by soldiers in uniform continues in Juba. The majority of attacks reported are taking place against women leaving the Protection of Civilians (PoC) sites in search of food and other life-saving needs, including in the immediate vicinity of the PoC gates. Humanitarian agencies have requested additional foot patrols by UNMISS soldiers.
The capacity for humanitarian response is scaling up with more humanitarian agencies operational and returning some staff to South Sudan. Humanitarian flight operations have resumed across the country (UNHAS), although restrictions remain in place for the use of helicopters south of Juba in greater Equatoria. However, this has limited impact as helicopters are predominantly used for other parts of the country.
The flow of refugees to neighboring countries continues. As of 20 July, a total of 18 149 South Sudanese had crossed over to Uganda since the most recent outbreak in conflict on 7 July.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Fighting in Juba left hundreds of people dead or injured and tens of thousands displaced.

• Sharp increase in suspected cholera cases.

• The number of South Sudanese people seeking shelter and safety in Uganda has risen significantly.

• One aid worker killed during fighting in Buaw, Koch County.

• Partners face challenges to meet growing needs in and around Wau.

Thousands displaced by fighting in Juba

Fighting in Juba, South Sudan’s capital, from 7 to 11 July left hundreds of people dead or injured and tens of thousands displaced.

Estimates by humanitarian partners indicate that more than 36,000 people were displaced at the height of the fighting and sought shelter in various locations throughout Juba, including the UNMISS base in Tongping, UN House in Jebel, WFP compound, ADRA compound, and churches and schools across the city. Most of the displaced were women and children.

While many of the displaced have since left the collective sites, as of 20 July, humanitarians estimated that more than 15,000 people remained displaced, including more than 10,800 in the UNMISS sites and more than 4,200 outside. This comes in addition to the more than 28,000 people sheltering in the UN Protection of Civilians (PoC) sites within the country’s capital prior to the recent outbreak of fighting.

During the fighting, there were reports of targeted and indiscriminate attacks affecting civilians, and there are ongoing reports of sexual and gender-based violence against women IDPs. “It is tragic that civilians, including those forced to flee their homes during this latest round of fighting, continue to suffer immensely at a time when there were high hopes of a return to stability in South Sudan,” said Mr. Eugene Owusu, Humanitarian Coordinator for South Sudan.

Humanitarian organizations have responded in locations with the highest needs, including distributing clean water, high energy biscuits, nutritional supplements, sanitary items and vital household items, including blankets and mosquito nets; re-supplying vital medicines and undertaking health consultations; supporting family tracing and reunification; and undertaking protection monitoring to identify and support the most vulnerable.

However, during and after the clashes, humanitarian facilities, compounds and warehouses - including a maternity ward in a Protection of Civilians site - were hit by shelling and gunfire, attacked or looted, and humanitarian staff came under attack. A national staff member of Internews, John Gatluak Manguet Nhial, was killed.

“We are very concerned that there is continuing violence, sexual violence against women and girls, and attacks against United Nations humanitarian facilities, and looting of humanitarian assistance which should be used for many hundreds of thousands of people. The looting by SPLA of WFP warehouses - stealing all the food, which was meant for at least 220,000 people - this is totally unacceptable. We ask for accountability and those perpetrators should be held accountable,” said UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, on 21 July.

In addition to the WFP warehouse, an FAO warehouse was ransacked and stocks of seeds and tools earmarked to help food insecure people across the country save their livelihoods, were looted.

SOUTH SUDAN RESPONSE UPDATE

• An estimated 4.8 million people throughout South Sudan are facing grave food insecurity and require urgent humanitarian assistance. According to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) update (April 2016), this is a significant increase from the first quarter of 2016 and the same period last year. The highest proportions of populations in Crisis, Emergency and Catastrophe were recorded in Northern and Western Bahr el Ghazal, and Unity States. The Greater Upper Nile also remains structurally fragile and vulnerable as a result of the protracted conflict.
• The conflict exacerbated by inflation and high commodity prices has resulted in reduced access to food, to which the FSL-C has initiated the Urban Programming Working Group, to focus partners on the need implement responsible market based programmes.
• Priorities for the FSL-C are to improve access to food- including direct distribution of in-kind assistance and cash programming; and to invest in livelihoods activities to extent possible with the distribution of crop, vegetable, and fishing kits.
• The FSL-C partners are only 46% funded as of mid-2016 within the Humanitarian Response Plan and some US$230 million are required for partners to meet urgent unmet requirements. It is essential that funding and support on access issues are addressed in the near future to avoid a further deterioration of the food security situation and prolonged human suffering.

Situation Overview

The situation in Juba, South Sudan, remains quiet following the July 12 ceasefire that halted a week of fighting between the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA)—loyal to South Sudan President Salva Kiir—and First Vice President Riek Machar’s forces, the Sudan People’s Liberation Army in Opposition (SPLA-IO). More roads are accessible, and the presence of military personnel and checkpoints has visibly decreased. Shops are beginning to reopen as people are moving about the capital. The humanitarian community continues to monitor the situation closely, as tensions in Juba and other parts of the country remain high.

Commercial air traffic at Juba International Airport (JIA) has resumed, and the UN Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS)—operated by the UN World Food Program (WFP)—has restarted some passenger and cargo flights as security and flight safety assurances (FSAs) allow. As of July 19, WFP reported receiving necessary FSAs for its fixed wing aircraft flights; helicopter movement remained restricted, severely limiting the movement of humanitarian workers and supplies in areas inaccessible by airplane.

Relief organizations are continuing to assess the humanitarian impact of the recent violence in Juba. Estimates for overall displacement resulting from the crisis vary upwards of 30,000 people, with a significant number reported to have already returned home. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that more than 10,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) entered UN Mission in the Republic of South Sudan (UNMISS) sites—UN House and Tongping base—to escape the violence, with thousands of additional IDPs seeking shelter elsewhere. At UN House, an estimated 28,000 registered IDPs were residing in the protection of civilian sites (PoCs) 1 and 3 prior to the crisis; official counts now indicate nearly 40,000 IDPs are present. International Medical Corps staff and other relief actors at the PoCs note that the actual number of IDPs may far exceed that figure.

Conditions within the UN House displacement sites—especially PoC 3— have become extremely overcrowded, placing further strain on already stretched sanitation infrastructure and increasing the likelihood of outbreaks of preventable diseases. Moreover, food remains scarce, with too few markets available and food selling at high prices. WFP and UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) warehouses in Juba were looted during the recent conflict, impacting the availability of stocks. Throughout the city, actors are reporting an increase in cases of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), particularly among women and girls.

On July 17, South Sudan’s Ministry of Health flagged an increase in suspected cholera cases in Juba and other parts of the country. According to the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF), at least 112 people in Juba were being treated for suspected cholera as of July 20. International Medical Corps and other relief organizations are coordinating closely on health and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) interventions to mitigate the spread of the disease and provide treatment to those in need.

Fairfield, Conn. (July 22, 2016) - More than 2,000 refugees are arriving in Northern Uganda daily after fleeing the on-going threat of violence in war-torn South Sudan. 90% of the people crossing are women and children, including vulnerable mothers with newborn babies.

Save the Children aid worker at the border, Justine Abenaitwe, said: "We’ve seen extremely vulnerable children coming into Uganda – many of whom have been forced to sleep outside because of the onset of heavy seasonal rains. The daily average has increased nearly ten-fold from the usual 200–300 refugees who were crossing before the fighting broke out in South Sudan less than two weeks ago.

"We are deeply concerned about the escalating numbers of unaccompanied and separated children who have made the journey alone and are susceptible to neglect or abuse. Even without the risk of being killed in the conflict, South Sudan is statistically the worst place in the world to be a child. Half the children are not in school."

Most refugees are coming from Eastern Equatoria state in addition to smaller numbers from Juba, with renewed sporadic fighting and hunger cited as the main reasons for flight. In the first five months of the year, the number of severely malnourished children admitted to Save the Children centers has tripled in comparison to the same period last year.

"These people only got a chance to leave South Sudan when the Uganda People’s Defence Force (UPDF), crossed into South Sudan to evacuate Ugandan traders. That is when civilian vehicles, which had been waiting in hiding, joined the secure convoy and lone travelers ran and hopped onto some of the trucks," says Abenaitwe.

"In just three hours on Tuesday afternoon, a total of 4,149 South Sudanese refugees, mainly women and children, entered the Ugandan town of Elegu on the border with South Sudan. One refugee told us that many South Sudanese men are staying in the country to fight, including boys as young as 13 years old."

Thousands of people are being relocated to camps and reception centers and the number of new arrivals is expected to rise in the coming days.

Save the Children is currently working on the construction of Child Friendly Spaces including one on two acres of land in Pagirinya where three to six-year-olds will come for school lessons; the provision of clothes, blankets, hygiene kits, mosquito nets and basic cooking utensils; the sensitization of refugees regarding child protection issues; and registration and case management for separated and un accompanied children.

Save the Children gives children in the United States and around the world a healthy start, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. We invest in childhood — every day, in times of crisis and for our future. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook.

Note to Editors:

• Save the Children Stabilization centers support severely malnourish children. The numbers have increased from just over 400 to well over 1600.

Situation Update

Cholera has been confirmed in Juba after 10 (77%) of the samples tested positive for Vibrio Cholera Inaba in the National Public Health Laboratory. Jubek state as of 21st July 2016, recorded a total of 155 cholera cases including 3 deaths (CFR 1.93%) have been reported in Juba county. Currently, only the Juba Teaching Hospital has been designated as a CTC, with a total of 22 new cholera cases reported in Juba on 21st July 2016 (Table 1 and Figure 1). The most affected locations in Juba include Gorom, Khor William, and Giada, Tiger area (Fig. 1.1 and 1.2).

In Jonglei state, 29 suspected cholera cases with 4 deaths (CFR 13.79%) have been reported from Duk County involving 5 settlements namely Atuek, Atul, Koyom, Moldova and Watkuac with the date of onset of index case on the 3rd July 2016.

1. Brief description of the emergency and impact

On July 9th renewed clashes broke out in the South Sudanese capital of Juba due to a reported power struggle between the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) in the government and the SPLA opposition.

Hundreds of people have been killed in the fighting between rival armed groups, raising fears of a slide back into full blown conflict. The recent clashes have triggered a massive influx of South Sudanese refugees into Adjumani Refugee Settlement in Uganda. Majority of the refugees are entering through Elegu Border Point which is managed by Lutheran World Federation (LWF). Following the days of the clashes in Juba (July 12th 2016) Elegu Border Point has received over 14,100 new arrivals with about 13,000 of them arriving between the three day period of 17th and 20th of July. Refugees cite the fragile security situation, fighting, torture, forceful recruitment of youths, looting of properties and hunger as reasons for fleeing to Uganda. Women and children constitute 90 percent of new arrivals.

2. Why is an ACT response needed?

In Adjumani, the most recently opened site, Pagarinya, is currently hosting nearly 7,000 refugees. The new influx is bound to exceed Pagarinya’s maximum capacity of 12,000 refugees. The massive influx into Pagarinya has created significant gaps in core sectors of WASH, shelter, NFIs and education. With the continued instability in South Sudan it is expected that new arrivals will continue to arrive Uganda at an unprecedented rate and there is an eminent need to identify new site/s or consider the expansion of existing ones. An ACT alliance response is needed to assist the refugees in Pagarinya and Elegu Border Point with access to basic needs such as food, water, shelter and education.

3. National and international response

The Ugandan armed forces have tightened security along the borders. UNHCR and partners in Adjumani have activated the existing contingency plans and a rapid assessment a new settlement site is already underway to accommodate the massive influx of refugees. Internationally, some countries like Germany and Uganda have reportedly evacuated their citizens from South Sudan, with many South Sudanese refugees using the Ugandan armed forces as a shield to cross the border into Uganda.

4. ACT Alliance response

LWF and Finn Church Aid (FCA) are the main ACT Alliance members currently responding to the needs of new arrivals in Adjumani. In Pagarinya where new arrivals are being settled, LWF is providing life-saving interventions in WASH, basic shelter, NFIs and management of the reception centre while FCA is constructing classrooms and providing furniture for schools. Once a new settlement is established to accommodate the influx, more support will be needed in the sectors of protection, WASH, NFI, education and livelihoods. LWF and FCA are in close contact and information sharing with our programs in the region namely Kenya (Kakuma), South Sudan (office currently relocated in Nairobi), and Ethiopia (Gambella). LWF and FCA will also solicit support from ACT alliance members in country to support this response.

5. Planned activities

LWF and FCA will enter new partnerships with the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) and UNHCR to access new resources to cater for the new refugee caseload. A more detailed appeal and budget of 800,000 USD will be developed and shared with the Alliance in the coming week. According to preliminary findings LWF and FCA plan to execute the following activities at Elegu Border Point and Pagarinya Settlement: Rapid Assessment, NFI support, WASH interventions (bath shelters and latrines), SGBV Response, Prevention and Management, Cash Transfers, construction of Inclusive Classrooms and gender specific latrines, fencing of school sites, Back-to-School campaigns, support to teachers (training and sensitization) and the provision of teaching and learning aides.

6. Constraints

Delay in decision making by UNHCR/OPM affects strategies for mobilisation of the much needed funds.
Financial resources required to meet the needs of the new and existing refugees seem to be dwindling.
The eventual opening of the South Sudanese border will most likely lead to a massive exodus from South Sudan.

Juba, South Sudan | AFP | Friday 7/22/2016 - 12:44 GMT

South Sudan's vice president and former rebel leader Riek Machar has fired a minister suspected by his group of being tapped by the government to replace him.

Machar has not been seen in public since he left the capital Juba after clashes that threatened to destroy a 2015 deal to end the country's civil conflict.

His movement, the SPLM/A (IO), on Friday accused the government of seeking to replace Machar with Taban Deng Gai -- the former rebels' chief negotiator during the peace talks.

Any attempt to force out Machar would inflict "a devastating blow" to the unity government and the August 2015 peace accord, it warned.

In a statement addressed to President Salva Kiir and received by AFP on Saturday, Machar said he had fired Teng Deng Gai as minister for mines in the transitional government.

"I will nominate his replacement as soon as I return to Juba once the security arrangement is put in place by a third party force", he said.

This is a reference to an eventual deployment in Juba of a contingent of African troops as part of the UN mission in the country.

in the runup to the latest developments, Kiir had appealed for Machar to return to Juba and work together towards rebuilding peace.

He had pledged to guarantee his rival's safety.

"There is no point to come back to be assassinated," Machar's spokesman Goi Jooyul Yol told AFP on Friday, speaking from the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa.

"Dr Machar is still being hunted around Juba," he said, adding that "we don't trust" Kiir's security pledge.

Juba was rocked by days of heavy fighting in early July between government forces and fighters loyal to Machar which erupted as he was meeting Kiir in the presidential palace.

More than 300 people were killed.

The violence escalated fears of a return to the brutal civil war that erupted just over two years after independence in 2011.

Kiir has rejected a proposal by the African Union to deploy a robust protection force in South Sudan and is also against beefing up the mandate of the UN peacekeeping mission UNMISS.

But the SPLM/A (IO) is in favour of an independent force.

Juba, South Sudan | AFP | Saturday 7/23/2016 - 16:55 GMT

Tensions surfaced Saturday within South Sudan's former rebel movement over a minister seen as a rival to vice president Riek Machar.

Machar declared he had fired the minister -- a position that appeared to have the backing of the SPLM/A (IO), a former rebel movement that has joined in a fragile unity government.

But in a twist to the strife-torn country's complex politics, around 100 senior members of the SPLM/A (IO) then announced they backed the minister.

The central figure is Mining Minister Taban Deng Gai, who the dissenters said will act as interim vice president in Machar's absence.

"The leadership has nominated Taban Deng Gai to act as the first vice-president of the Republic of South Sudan," Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth, head of external affairs for the SPLM-IO, told the press after a meeting at a hotel in Juba.

But speaking to journalists following his nomination, Gai insisted he would step aside once Machar returned.

"I'm only filling a vacuum. If Riek Machar returns (to Juba) tomorrow, I will gladly step aside if it can help bring peace to South Sudan," Gai said.

Machar and President Salva Kiir fell out in 2013, little more than two years after South Sudan became independent, when Kiir accused his vice president of plotting against him.

The result was a civil war that killed tens of thousands of people.

A peace agreement was sealed in August 2015, but the country remains chronically unstable.

Forces loyal to Kiir or Machar fought bloodily from July 8 to 11, although the presidential troops had overwhelmingly superior firepower, in helicopters and tanks. At least 300 people were killed.

• Safety of Machar -

Machar has not been seen in public since then.

Kiir has appealed to Machar to return to Juba and has vowed to guarantee his safety.

But Machar has refused until a neutral force -- agreed in principle by the African Union -- is deployed.

On Friday, the SPLM/A (IO) warned that any attempt to replace Machar with Gai -- the former rebels' chief negotiator during the peace talks -- would inflict "a devastating blow" to the unity government and the peace accord.

Separately, Machar, in a statement to Kiir received by AFP on Saturday, said he had fired Gai as minister.

"I will nominate his replacement as soon as I return to Juba once the security arrangement is put in place by a third party force", he said.

Kiir has rejected a proposal by the AU to deploy a protection force in South Sudan and is also against beefing up the mandate of the UN peacekeeping mission UNMISS. But the SPLM/A (IO) is in favour of an independent force.

"There is no point to come back to be assassinated," Machar's spokesman Goi Jooyul Yol told AFP on Friday, speaking from the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa.

"Dr Machar is still being hunted around Juba," he said, adding that "we don't trust" Kiir's security pledge.

Nearly all refugees are women and children escaping stepped-up fighting between forces loyal to president and those loyal to its former vice-president

By Sebastien Malo

NEW YORK, July 22 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - More than 8,300 refugees fled violence in war-torn South Sudan and crossed into neighboring Uganda in a single day this week, setting a one-day record for this year, United Nations officials said on Friday.

The refugees, nearly all women and children, were escaping stepped-up fighting between forces loyal to South Sudan's president and those loyal to its former vice president, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees said.

Overview

As of the 15th of July 2016, the total number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the UN Mission in South Sudan’s Protection of Civilians (PoC) site in Bentiu was 102,228. The first June 2016 population count was held in Bentiu PoC from the 13 - 15 July 2016. Compared to the previous count conducted in late June, the population increased from 99,034 individuals to 102,228 individuals. The rise in IDP population figure may be attributed to the deteriorating security conditions outside the PoC and the ongoing July general food distribution in the PoC

Overview

As of the 29th of June 2016, the total number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the UN Mission in South Sudan’s Protection of Civilians (PoC) site in Bentiu was 99,034. The second June 2016 population count was held in Bentiu PoC from the 27 - 29 June 2016. Compared to the previous count conducted in mid June, the population increased from 93,817 individuals to 99,034 individuals. The increase in IDP population may be attributed to the forthcoming general food distribution in the PoC and the decreased sense of security outside the PoC.

In coordination with the Inter-Cluster Working Group, the Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Cluster continues to advocate for non-creation of new camp-like settings in Juba. Humanitarian interventions should be aimed at providing temporary emergency assistance that will not serve as a pull factor for IDPs to remain in the sites.
OCHA reports that 15,061 people remain displaced by the insecurity in Juba. Of these, 10,838 people are sheltering in the UN Tong Ping and UN House bases. An estimated 4,223 IDPs are staying in three collective centres.
