South Sudan — Event Tracking Report #66 (1-15 October 2024)

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, land disputes, insecurity, violence, natural disasters, and cross-border movements.

Between October 1 and 15, 2024, a series of localized conflicts resulted in the displacement of 4,945 individuals in Tonj East County and 2,573 in Tonj North County. Information gathered from key informants indicates that these displacements were predominantly instigated by localized conflicts. As a consequence of these incidents, there has been a significant surge in urgent humanitarian needs among the affected populations. The displaced individuals have identified shelter, food, and non-food items as their three most pressing requirements, necessitating immediate humanitarian assistance.

The situation in South Sudan remains critical, as ongoing conflicts continue to exacerbate the humanitarian crisis. Immediate intervention is essential to address the urgent needs of those affected by displacement.
