Situation Update
From January to September 2024, an estimated 4 million people, including women, girls, boys, and men, in South Sudan were reached with humanitarian assistance and protection services. This represents nearly 68 per cent of the 5.9 million people targeted through the 2024 Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP). Of those, 2.2 million were female, and 1.8 million were male.
Response achievements include more than 2.9 million people receiving food assistance, livelihoods support, and cash transfers; over 1.3 million people reached with healthcare; approximately 1 million assisted with protection services; and about 808,000 people supported with access to safe water. About 991,000 children, and pregnant and breastfeeding women, were provided with emergency nutritional assistance. An estimated 424,480 people received essential household items and emergency shelter.
More than 24,435 metric tonnes of humanitarian cargo were transported, along with over 48,140 UNHAS passengers. Some 849,000 people were reached through camp coordination and camp management services, and over 411,000 children received support with access to education in emergencies. Despite lower-than-expected funding in the first quarter, some clusters utilized carry-over funding from the 2023 HRP to reach people with critical assistance and services.
As of September, 263 humanitarian organizations contributed to these achievements, with 62 per cent being South Sudanese non-governmental organizations. At the time of publication, the HRP had secured US $1.1 billion, or 59.4 per cent of the requested $1.8 billion, with the United States of America, the European Commission, and UAE being the top donors
