SITUATION REPORT

OVERVIEWHeavy fighting between government forces and the opposition broke out on 14 April in Bentiu, Unity State. Heightened instability and ethnic tensions in greater Bentiu have forced nearly 14,000 internally displace people (IDPs) to seek protection at the UNMISS Bentiu base – this is in addition to 8,000 IDPs who already shelter at the PoC.

In Bor, Jonglei State, more than 50 IDPs were killed by armed youth who infiltrated the UNMISS PoC on 17 April. This alarming and violent act is of great concern to the UN and the international community. UNMISS has urged community leaders at the Bor PoC to exercise restraint and refrain from activities that may trigger retaliatory sentiments inside the site which currently hosts 5,000 IDPs. Over 75,000 people continue remain sheltering in eight UNMISS bases in Central Equatoria, Jonglei, Unity and Upper Nile.

Relocation of 14,000 IDP households from UNMISS Tongping to UN House is scheduled to begin by the end of April

OVERVIEW

IOM RESPONSE

CAMP COORDINATION AND CAMP MANAGEMENT

The Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Cluster works to facilitate the effective and targeted delivery of life-saving services to IDPs in displacement sites and ensure that basic humanitarian living conditions are provided, while also building the foundations for voluntary return and recovery interventions where it is possible and safe to do so. IOM and UNHCR co-lead the CCCM Cluster, in coordination with ACTED. IOM continues to act as CCCM state focal point in Upper Nile, Jonglei and Warrap states, providing technical assistance and operational support to CCCM partners in the area as needed.

CCCM RESPONSE GRANTS

Through the support of the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF), IOM has disbursed grants to seven partners to support the establishment of CCCM structures in 17 counties. Through this support, over 100,000 IDPs will be provided with lifesaving CCCM support in Central Equatoria, Eastern Equatoria, Jonglei, Unity, and Upper Nile states. Specifically, through these grants partners will be able to set up camp management structures such as site committees that will facilitate the identification of urgent needs and the provision of services to displaced populations.

Site improvements will also be carried out to improve living conditions of the IDPs as they await more durable solutions. A second call for proposals has been issued, as a result of receiving additional funding to support this initiative. Partners are in the process of developing proposals to either expand existing activities in locations where they are present or expand geographic coverage where they have the capacity to do so.

CCCM TRAINING

IOM supported NRC to conduct a three day CCCM training workshop (14-16 April) in Juba for 24 participants from UNMISS, NGOs and the South Sudan Relief and Rehabilitation Commission. Instructional modules covered during the three day seminar included theoretical approaches to camp management founded on relevant case studies and approaches reflect holistic CCCM best practices. Training at the state level is

scheduled to begin next week, starting with Malakal, Upper Nile State – a priority location identified by the cluster.

RELOCATION SUPPORT

Juba, Central EquatoriaRelocation of 14,000 IDP households from UNMISS Tongping to UN House is scheduled to begin by 30 April. IOM will be responsible for providing movement services and IDP Registration support during the relocation process. Planning for this movement is ongoing between IOM, ACTED (camp managers), UNMISS and other humanitarian partners.

SITE IMPROVEMENT AND EXPANSION

The CCCM cluster continues to work to improve existing sites and expand sites where necessary. Site improvement and expansion interventions are currently focused on the largest sites that are anticipated to remain open for a protracted period of time. This includes the UNMISS PoC areas of UN House (Juba, Central Equatoria), Malakal (Upper Nile), Bentiu (Unity) and Bor (Jonglei) as well as the spontaneous settlement in Mingkaman (Lakes). These five sites host a cumulative population of over 140,000 IDPs.

IOM is leading site expansion and improvement works in Malakal PoC (completion rate of 15%) and Bor (completion rate of 3%) IOM is also providing technical support to CCCM partners in Mingkaman (completion rate of 2%) and providing operational support for efforts in UN House (Completion rate of 75%). Continued insecurities, logistical and funding constraints continue to be the main challenges to increasing site development efforts across the board.

SHELTER AND NON-FOOD ITEMS

As lead of the Shelter and Non-Food Items Cluster in South Sudan, IOM provides essential household items and emergency shelter materials to conflict- and disaster-affected populations as well as returnees. IOM also manages the Shelter and NFI Core Pipeline, a mechanism to ensure that key NFIs and emergency shelter materials are prepositioned in strategic locations and ready to be deployed rapidly.

IOM frontline teams are facing multiple challenges to secure timely cargo movements to remote locations due to logistical constraints, insecurity and heavy rains.

8,790 The number of IDP households provided with shelter materials as of 18 April – 13% of the cluster target has been reached

75,616 The number of IDP households provided with NFI kits and loose times as of 9 April – 94% of the cluster target has been reached

WATER, SANITATION AND HYGIENE

OVERVIEW REFUGEE RESPONSE

Doro refugee camp

As lead provider of WASH response in Doro camp, IOM is continuing to meet the needs of the camp’s refugee pop-ulation. All key water, hygiene and sanitation indicators are current-ly above the minimum standards. Nonetheless, there remains a need to maintain these standards, particular-ly with the start of the rainy season, to prevent the outbreak and spread of wa-terborne diseases amongst the refugee pop-ulation and the surrounding host communities.
