South Sudan — Event Tracking: Report #57 (July 2024)

In South Sudan, a complex humanitarian crisis is unfolding due to various factors such as communal conflicts, land disputes, insecurity, violence, natural disasters, and displacement across borders. Between 1st and 15th July 2024, 8,834 returnees arrived in different counties within the country.

Half of the returns (51%) were forced to return from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) due to violence against civilians, 38 per cent displaced from Sudan because of the ongoing Sudan crisis, and 7 per cent due to improved security conditions in their destination areas in South Sudan. The influx of returnees has led to urgent humanitarian needs among the affected population.
