On 5 March 2020, IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) conducted a head count in the area adjacent to the UNMISS base in Pibor Town to get most accurate estimate number of IDPs who were displaced to the site due to communal clashes linked to cattle raiding between communities of Akobo and Pibor County. The team counted a total of 8,491 IDPs/ 1,522 households who fled to the site between 18 February and 5 March 2020. Food, shelter and non-food items were identified as the most urgent needs by the population staying on site. Eighty-eight per cent of IDPs are from Pibor/Gogolthin Payam (44%) and Lekuangole Payam (44%). The remaining are from Gumruk Payam or did not want to disclose this information to the team. More than a half (58%) are female and under 18 years old (60%).
