South Sudan is currently facing a complex humanitarian crisis characterized by extensive internal displacements. The underlying causes of these displacement dynamics are varied and include communal clashes, flooding, insecurity, violence, natural disasters, and cross-border movements.
Between 1st and 15th October 2024, enumerators from the Displacement Tracking Matrix documented significant disaster (flood) related displacements affecting 10,719 individuals. The majority of these displacements occurred in Northern Bahr el Ghazal where 7,775 individuals were displaced to Aweil West, 1,954 to Mayom County in Unity State, and 990 to Abyei Administrative Area.
The effect of these displacements calls for urgent humanitarian intervention among the affected population. Those who have been displaced identified their most pressing requirements as being in dire need of food, shelter, and non-food items.
