Situation Update
From January to June 2024, an estimated 3.5 million people, including women, girls, boys, and men, in South Sudan were reached with humanitarian assistance and protection services. This represents nearly 59 per cent of the 5.9 million people targeted through the 2024 Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP). Of those, 1.9 million were female, and 1.6 million were male.
Response achievements include more than 2.6 million people receiving food assistance, livelihoods support, and cash transfers; nearly 830,000 people reached with healthcare; approximately 720,000 assisted with protection services; and about 600,000 people supported with access to safe water. About 622,000 children, and pregnant and breastfeeding women, were provided with emergency nutritional assistance. An estimated 312,000 people received essential household items and emergency shelter.
More than 19,323 metric tons of humanitarian cargo were transported, along with over 31,667 UNHAS passengers. Some 793,000 people were reached through camp coordination and camp management services, and over 270,000 children received support with access to education in emergencies. Despite lower-than-expected funding in the second quarter, some clusters utilized carry-over funding from the 2023 HRP to reach people with critical assistance and services.
As of June, 231 humanitarian organizations contributed to these achievements, with 61 per cent being South Sudanese non-governmental organizations. At the time of publication, the HRP had secured US $334 million, or 19 per cent of the requested $1.8 billion, with the United States of America, the European Commission, and Sweden being the top donors
