- Heavy rains and subsequent flooding had affected an estimated 735,000 people throughout South Sudan as of September 30, the UN reports. Floods rendered vital supply roads impassable and disrupted humanitarian access countrywide.
- Some of South Sudan’s most at-risk households—including flood-displaced populations and refugees and returnees from Sudan in transit areas—likely experienced Catastrophe—IPC 5—levels of acute food insecurity as of September, according to FEWS NET.
- Violent incidents affected civilians and humanitarian staff in September, highlighting ongoing access constraints and protection risks in South Sudan.
