SITUATION REPORT
Biometric registration of IDPs before relocation to UN House in Juba
HIGHLIGHTS
OVERVIEW Over 1.1 million people remain internally displaced across the country and over 399,000 people have fled the violence to neighbouring countries (Uganda 118,400, Kenya 41,100, Ethiopia 158,200 and Sudan 82,000). There are currently 97,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) sheltering in seven UN bases across South Sudan. The onset of the peak rainy season has complicated the delivery of humanitarian aid to many areas in Jonglei, Unity and Upper Nile states. Humanitarian actors are increasingly relying on air transportion to deliver lifesaving supplies. The threat of cholera and waterborne diseases is a growing concern in displacement sites, especially in remote locations where thousands remain vulnerable without access to basic services.
68,720 health consultations have been provided to date 43,431 households provided with Shelter and NFI assistance since January 2014 As of 11 July, a total of 3,332 cholera cases and 80 deaths have been recorded (representing a case fatality rate of 2.4 per cent). In Wau Shilluk, Upper Nile, the number of suspected cholera cases reached 246 with seven deaths reported. The number of suspected cases in Wau (West Bahr el Ghazal State) increased to 716, with 18 deaths reported. In Malakal (Upper Nile), 30 suspected cholera cases and two deaths were reported; and in Bentiu (Unity), 15 suspected cases were reported – figures from both locations were reported in Protection of Civilian (PoC) sites. The emergence of hepatitis E at the Mingkaman displacement site is a growing concern for health actors, with 11 new cases recorded this reporting period.
