Humanitarian Response

During the second quarter of 2021, IOM Core Pipeline continued to provide critical support to the shelter and non-food items (S-NFI) Cluster and the water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) Cluster. Emergency responses of S-NFI and WASH partners were supported with lifesaving core pipeline supplies through efficient pipeline management, including procurement, warehouse management, and transportation of supplies. Prepositioning of supplies to IOM logistics hub locations across South Sudan was prioritized while the roads are still accessible by surface/road transport.

Despite some forward movement in earlier months of 2020, August saw continued delays in the implementation of the peace deal. At the same time, there has been a continuation of sub-national and localized violence throughout much of August, with escalating tensions and violence in different parts of the country, including in Warrap, Jonglei, and Central Equatoria States. These tensions continue to deepen the humanitarian crisis that has been made worse by the impacts of heavy rains and flooding in various areas of South Sudan.
