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 16th and 31st October 2024, enumerators from the Displacement Tracking Matrix documented significant disaster (flood) related displacements affecting 15,367 individuals. The majority of these displacements occurred in Warrap where 6,780 individuals were displaced to Gogrial West, 6,156 to Malakal County in Upper Nile State, 1,575 to Guit, and 856 to Nyriol in Jonglei state.
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.
