Escalating violence in South Sudan
Since late December 2025, escalating fighting between the South Sudan People’s Defence Forces (SSPDF) and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Army-in-Opposition (SPLM-IO), in South Sudan, mainly in Jonglei, and spreading into Upper Nile and Unity, has severely disrupted humanitarian operations. A forced SSPDF relocation order led to the evacuation of about 84% of staff from 38 NGOs, suspending critical health, nutrition, WASH, and protection services. Insecurity Insight monitoring identified 137 incidents affecting aid operations in South Sudan between the adoption of UN resolution 2730 in May 2024 and 11 February 2026.

On 29 December, an INGO medical facility and airstrip were hit by SSPDF airstrikes, and on 3 February an INGO hospital was hit, injuring a staff member and destroying its main warehouse and critical supplies; a separate INGO medical facility was looted the same day. Also on 3 February, an INGO field office and primary health care centre were looted and burned during fighting - five of the INGOs vehicles were also seized in two incidents at the end of January.
