DTM IOM participated in two joint humanitarian assessments, the first in Kajo-Keji and the second in Tore and Rasul (). The findings from Kajo-Keji, which indicated a significant increase in returns, as well as a need for health services and a potential new PoE screening location (Jalimo), were presented to the BH&POE technical working group. The assessment in Tore and Rasul revealed two points of entry from DRC, though incoming flows were reported to be low (<50 per week) due to the lack of sizeable settlements on the DRC side of the border.

WASH/HEALTH ●   IOM conducted an assessment visit to Tore and Rasul in Yei as part of an interagency assessment mission in these areas ●   On 19 June 2019, IOM held a meeting with the Yei River Handwashing demonstration in Yei © IOM 2019 / Collins YONGULE State Minister of Health and Environment, The DG Yei River State Ministry of Health, WHO representatives from the state, other partners, and the Commissioner for Morobo county at Morobo County Commissioner’s office ●   IOM EVD coordinators from and Yei conducted monitoring visits to PoE sites in Morobo county (Salia Musalla, Kaya, Morobo and Bazi) and held meetings with ground teams to maintain direct feedback from field teams ●   IOM and UNICEF are conducting a joint EVD assessment visit to Tore county in Yei River state form 1st July to 5th July 2019

IOM also attends weekly Yei STF meetings as well as the monthly coordination meetings in Morobo and Kajo-Keji counties.
