SITUATION REPORT
Evacuation of stranded foreign nations from Bentiu
OVERVIEW The security situation in South Sudan remains unpredictable and volatile. Incidents of random shooting and sporadic clashes continue to be reported in Bor (Jonglei State) and in areas around Renk County (Upper Nile State). Response to the cholera outbreak in Central Equatoria State is ongoing, with Cluster Partners and national counterparts focusing their efforts on the treatment, surveillance, laboratory testing and awareness activities at the community level. As of 15 June, a total of 1,742 cases of cholera and 38 deaths have been recorded (case fatality rate of 2.2 per cent – above the emergency threshold). Six cholera treatment centres have been set up in Juba and cholera alerts have been activated in Eastern Equatoria, Jonglei, Unity, Upper Nile and Western Equatoria states. Humanitarian agencies have scaled up emergency health response activities in Lakes State, after 30 cases of hepatitis E were reported at the Mingkaman
HIGHLIGHTS
Over 6,500 IDPs have been relocated to the new PoC site in Malakal as of 15 June 645 metric tons of humanitarian cargo transported this week through IOM’s Common Transport Service
displacement site. As the rainy seasons progresses, the looming threat of waterborne diseases is a growing concern, especially in displacement areas and Protection of Civilians (PoC) sites. Over 1.5 million people remain internally displaced across the country and the number of people estimated to be sheltering in UNMISS bases is currently 94,175. Over 367,000 people have fled to neighbouring countries (Uganda 112,045 Kenya 38,323, Ethiopia 139,812 and Sudan 84,734) (OCHA).

IOM RESPONSE
CAMP COORDINATION AND CAMP MANAGEMENT
The Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Cluster works to facilitate the effective and targeted delivery of life-saving services to IDPs in displacement sites and ensure that basic humanitarian living conditions are provided, while also building the foundations for voluntary return and recovery interventions where it is possible and safe to do so. IOM and UNHCR co-lead the CCCM Cluster, in coordination with ACTED. IOM continues to act as CCCM state focal point in Upper Nile, Jonglei, West Bahr el Ghazal and Warrap.
Site Development, Expansion and Improvement
UN House PoC3 A new displacement site “PoC3” adjacent to UN House was inaugurated on 28 May. IOM is supporting the installation of 300 meters of drainage piping at the new site – civil work is 90% complete. On 7 June, 90 internally displaced persons (IDPs) were relocated to PoC3 from UNMISS Tongping as part of a “cash for work” scheme to facilitate the construction of shelters at the new site in preparation for relocations. The organization of the new PoC site is divided into two main areas: the logistics base; and the IDP campsite. The logistical base will host rub-halls and a compound for humanitarian agencies. The IDP campsite is divided into nine zones (ranging from zone A to G). Each zone is divided in six blocks and each block is divided in eight compounds, each comprising of ten family plots. Site Plan of PoC3
IOM is supporting CCCM activities through Cluster Partners, with the aim to improve the living conditions of thousands of displaced people sheltering at the UN House PoC in Juba (Central Equatoria), Malakal PoC (Upper Nile), Bor PoC (Jonglei), and Bentiu PoC (Unity). IOM is also providing technical assistance for ongoing site development/expansion activities at the spontaneous IDP settlement in Mingkaman (Lakes).
Malakal PoC As of 15 June, over 6,500 individuals have been relocated to the new PoC site. Overall progress of site preparation is 75% complete and 727 tents (68%) have been erected across all three sectors. The relocation of families to the new site was prioritized based on vulnerability, special needs and current living conditions. The allocation of plots to IDPs is according to family and neighbourhood structures. CCCM and Protection teams will jointly monitor each block, and regular meetings will be held with IDP residents and community leaders, to explain to them the overall relocation plan and to ensure their collective participation throughout the process. As of 12 June, 10 communal latrine units (43%) and 30 bathing units (68%) have been completed at the new site. As of 12 June, 10 communal latrine units (43%) and 30 bathing units (68%) have been completed. The new site is divided into three sectors and each sector is divided into blocks, so that people can be moved according to their family and neighbourhood structures.

As the site management agency, ACTED is leading the site development work, including raising platforms to hold humanitarian infrastructure and land filling areas prone to seasonal flooding – site preparation is 30% complete. Through the CCCM grants managed by IOM, additional resources have been allocated to ACTED – the CCCM camp manager – to increase site improvement interventions in the area.
ASSISTANCE TO FOREIGN NATIONALS
Displacement Tracking •
The third round of Data Tracking Matrix (DTM) is on going. This round aims to gather updated information on sites covered in the past round as well as expand coverage in new IDP sites.
DTM teams are deployed in Bentiu, Malakal, Melut, and Mingkaman to gather information on trends in displacement as a result of recent armed violence and subsequent population movement.
On 14 June, IOM assisted the evacuation of 70 foreign nationals (69 Sudanese and one Swedish), by providing air transport assistance from Bentiu to Juba.

Bentiu PoC IOM has deployed a WASH response team to strengthen hygiene promotion activities of the WASH Cluster. Due to the significant increase in the PoC population, the living conditions require urgent scale up of action to mitigate the threat of waterborne diseases.
REFUGEE RESPONSE
As lead provider of WASH response at the Doro camp, IOM continues to meet the needs of the camp’s refugee population. All key water, hygiene and sanitation indicators are currently above the minimum standards. However, there remains a need to maintain these standards to prevent the outbreak and spread of waterborne diseases amongst the refugee population and surrounding host communities during the course of the rainy season.
