South Sudan — Event Tracking: Report #64 - Flood Displacements (1-30 September 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, flooding, insecurity, violence, natural disasters, and cross-border movements.

In the month of September 2024, enumerators from the Displacement Tracking Matrix documented significant flood-induced displacements affecting 44,497 individuals. The majority of these displacements occurred in Northern Bahr el Ghazal where 14,455 individuals were displaced to Aweil East, 11,756 to Aweil West and 9,030 to Aweil North. Additionally, 11,930 individuals were displaced to Abyei Administrative Area, while Jonglei and Western Bahr el Ghazal saw 6,500 and 995 individuals displaced to Fangak and Jur River, respectively.

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, health and shelter.
