At the same time, and like the rest of the world, the Dykes and roads need to be repaired, and emergency people of South Sudan and the humanitarian community supplies pre-positioned before remote communities are cut were greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and its off from road and air access. These short-term measures disruptive impacts on markets, services and movements must be matched by a longer-term flood preparation across the country. South Sudan also experienced its and mitigation strategy. Disaster risk reduction is one second consecutive year of devastating flooding that has of the areas, alongside food security and prevention of affected almost 1 million people each year. During 2020, gender-based violence, where humanitarian-development sub-national violence and localized conflicts intensified and collaboration can make a real difference on people’s lives. flared up in areas that had been relatively peaceful for years. Humanitarian access deteriorated, and the number of aid Throughout these various shocks, the affected communities workers killed tripled from three in 2019 to nine in 2020. continued to demonstrate a great sense of solidarity. I call on the Government, development partners, donors The combination of these shocks led to a substantial and aid organizations to match their solidarity with increase in vulnerabilities. The country is now facing its unwavering support. highest levels of food insecurity and malnutrition since independence 10 years ago. The upcoming lean season Without security and stability, humanitarian needs will from May to July is expected to be the most severe on continue to grow. Relevant authorities both at the local and record.

The violence must stop so that the people of South created urgent protection needs, especially for women Sudan can finally recover from the crisis and rebuild their and children. lives and their communities. The 2021 Humanitarian Response Plan sets our three strategic objectives for the year. They guide nearly 200 humanitarian organizations to save lives and protect people; ensure people’s access to basic services; and enable people to recover from the crisis. The synergy among these objectives is essential to achieve meaningful results for the affected communities. In response to the anticipated catastrophic levels of food insecurity in parts of the country, a multisectoral scaled up response is already under way with an enhanced level of coordination at the local level. Thousands of humanitarian workers, most of them South Sudanese, are currently working tirelessly to save lives and provide humanitarian assistance in the six most food insecure areas – Pibor, Akobo, Aweil South, Tonj East, Tonj North and Tonj South.

  • IRNA Report: Jiech, Ayod County, Jonglei State 13/14 May 2014
    IRNA Report: Jiech, Ayod County, Jonglei State 13/14 May 2014 This IRNA Report is a product of Inter-Agency Assessment mission conducted and information compiled based on the inputs provided by partners on the ground including; government authorities, affected communities/IDPs and agencies. Situation overview Ayod County is located in the northwest part of Jonglei state and borders Fangak and Khorflus Counties to the north, Nyirol and Uror Counties to the east, Duk County to the south and Unity State to the west. It is comprised of five Payams, namely Ayod, Mogok, Pajiek, Pagil, Kuachdeng and Wau. Ayod County and its environs are inhabited by Gaawar Nuer. It had a population of 139,282 people as per South Sudan Household Census of 2008. Jiech now hosts the County Administration. The community and county headquarters is currently calm, after being compelled to flee to following a SPLA offensive resulting in the capture of Ayod. On May 10th, OCHA received reports that up to an estimated 25,283 IDP’s were seeking refuge in Jiech Payam, Ayod County .In response an IRNA mission was launched through OCHA taking the lead and convening an Inter cluster Working Group for actors in Ayod County. The area normally has high levels of food insecurity and following the withdrawal of health actors, has lacked health interventions which has worsened over the last few weeks with IDPs fleeing their homes with no basic commodities. IDP’s reported are 25,283, however far fewer civilians were seen and the population will need to be verified as soon as possible.
