After five months of food distribution disruption, UNHCR and partners finally provided one month ration to some 2,000 Sudanese refugees living in the Pladama Ouaka camp, Bambari.

With 1.4 million people still living in camps, and a majority of the people in Darfur still suffering from inadequate access to basic health care, education and other services, the challenges remain enormous.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Nutrition situation in South Sudan has remained precarious over the years owing to chronic food insecurity. The populations displaced from South Kordofan and Blue Nile states from 2011 owing to conflict, were installed into camps in the Maban county and high levels of malnutrition among the children was described as a humanitarian crisis. A survey conducted by Médecins sans Frontières -Belgium (MSF-B) in Batil camps subsequently in August 2012, revealed Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) rate of 39.8%.

The Global Overview collates information from a range of sources and displays it in a manner that allows for quick comparison of different humanitarian crises.

Therapeutic medical food and hospital beds were looted and purposeful damage done to the infrastructure, rendering the hospital unusable until major repair work has been conducted.

Highlights

UNHCR began on 06 May 2013, the relocation of 18,200 Sudanese refugees from flood prone Jamam refugee camp, to the new site, Kaya, ahead of the onset of this year’s seasonal rains.

Clashes between host and refugee communities in Doro camp illustrate the possible threat of civil unrest across Maban. Efforts are underway to bring the two communities together.

Over 95% of refugee children have been immunized during the national polio immunization campaign this month.

May 14, 2013 (JUBA) - A soldier in South Sudan’s Western Bahr el Ghazal state opened fire at Wau Teaching Hospital on Monday afternoon, killing a medical practitioner and wounding three others.

Wau’s Municipal Mayor, Michael Gebba, said the attacker was the husband of a woman believed to have died at the hospital after an operation. The man, he revealed, last week opened a case at Wau Police station against the hospital.

The case is still under investigation.
