Humanitarian Response

South Sudan faced multiple crises during the last quarter of 2021, with widespread flooding continuing to impact people and their livelihoods across the country. Some 854,0001 people have been reported to be flood-affected as of end of November including vulnerable areas such as Bentiu in Unity State. Meanwhile, the conflict in Tambura has also displaced close to 80,0002 people, with the conflict-affected population fleeing to the nearby counties of Ezo, Nagero, Yambio, Namutina, Wau, Nzara and Moso.

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.
