South Sudan — Event Tracking: Tambura (4—6 July 2018)

Since the end of May, conflict between government and opposition forces has led to IDPs fleeing to Tambura from the Nagero area. Travel routes are unsafe, and IDPs have resorted to traveling by foot to reach IDP sites. Local institutions such as churches have provided critical support to IDPs, at times hosting IDPs themselves during initial displacement and providing food assistance. Subsequently, humanitarian organizations have also provided resources for IDPs to meet their basic needs. IDPs stated that they cannot presently return to their habitual residences as cases of violence, abductions and looting of household items still continue in those areas.
