▪ IPC Acute insecurity and Acute Malnutrition report issued in April 2022, stated 6.83 million people (55% of the population) faced high acute food insecurity IPC Phase 3 or above.
Flooding
▪ The flood waters from the 2021 flooding season have not receded, and many of the 884 000 people displaced by flooding across 33 counties remain displaced. The next rainy season is expected to find these populations displaced and further worsen their situation. The displaced populations live in poor and unsafe conditions that predispose them to an increased risk of disease outbreaks. Of particular concern is Rubkona County in Unity State. The internally displaced populations in Bentiu IDP Camp and A-E flood IDP sites continue to live in a deplorable situation.
Sub-national violence
▪ The ongoing conflict in Leer has led to mass displacement of over 7 000 in Old Fangak, and the newly displaced population need humanitarian assistance, including health.
