OVERVIEW
On 15 December fighting broke out between factions in the South Sudanese capital Juba, and since then the conflict has spread to other parts of the country, displacing tens of thousands of civilians.
The UN estimates that at least 92,500 people have been displaced by the ongoing violence, including 58,000 taking refuge in UNMISS compounds across the country. The number of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in UNMISS compounds is growing. It is anticipated that hundreds of thousands more have been affected in areas currently inaccessible to humanitarian actors.
IOM-led registration of IDPs and distributions of non-food items (NFIs) and food began on 23 December at the UNMISS Tomping compound in Juba. Between 23 and 25 December, 5,106 individuals (1,554 households) received assistance.
IOM leads the Shelter and NFI Cluster and co-leads the Camp Management Camp Coordination (CCCM) Cluster. IOM and partners are working to deliver and accelerate lifesaving assistance to populations affected by the crisis.
