South Sudan SITUATION REPORT 4 June 2015 Situation Overview & Humanitarian Needs While the humanitarian situation in the country continues to deteriorate, the Humanitarian Coordinator, Toby Lanzer, who has been instrumental in scaling the response to the current crisis, has been expelled from the country. The reporting period saw on-going violence and grave violations in Unity and Upper Nile states, where over 100,000 people have been newly displaced and 650,000 people have been cut off from humanitarian assistance. Children trapped by fighting without access to basic medical services and food will struggle to survive this lean season without an urgent resumption of humanitarian assistance in conflict-affected areas. As of 28 May, over 130,000 people were estimated to be sheltering in Protection of Civilian (PoC) sites. According to UNHCR, some 60,000 South Sudanese have fled the country in 2015.

In Upper Nile State, fighting continued in and . Melut has been completely destroyed and emptied of civilians. The heavy fighting resulted in the killing of least six IDPs, including children. Humanitarian compounds and supply stores have been looted. Populations that had fled to Paloich and the bush have started returning to the Dethoma settlements where UNICEF partner GOAL has restarted health and nutrition services. In Unity State, sporadic fighting continues in southern parts of the State hampering the delivery of humanitarian assistance. Populations are once again escaping the violence, retreating to remote locations in swamps and on islands.

There are eight suspected and one confirmed cholera case in Juba, seven of which are in Juba PoC. UNICEF, WHO and Cluster and implementing partners are working to increase prevention and response interventions.

The latest Interagency Phase Classification (IPC) results were released on 27 May, with nearly 248,000 children at significant risk as food and nutrition security rapidly deteriorate in parts of South Sudan. Child malnutrition rates remain above the emergency threshold of 15 per cent in both conflict-affected and high-burden states. Nearly one in three children under 5 are malnourished in the worst-hit areas of Greater Upper Nile, Warrap and Northern Bahr el Ghazal. The crisis comes as a result of ongoing conflict, diminished household food stocks and a shrinking economy. The number of people facing severe food insecurity has almost doubled since the start of the year from 2.5 million to an estimated 4.6 million people. This is the highest number of families at crisis or emergency levels of food insecurity since the start of the conflict in December 2013.

Humanitarian leadership and coordination UNICEF actively participates in the Humanitarian Country Team and the Inter Cluster Working Group, which lead strategic and cross-sectoral coordination of humanitarian programmes. UNICEF leads the WASH, Nutrition and Education clusters as well as the Child Protection sub-cluster. Within the Health cluster, UNICEF provides leadership on vaccination, communication and social mobilization. UNICEF also supports the core supply pipelines for the Education, WASH and Nutrition clusters, providing essential humanitarian supplies to all partners. While continuing to focus on the delivery of life-saving interventions, UNICEF is also investing in providing access to education and a protective environment for affected children.

Humanitarian Strategy: Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) As part of the interagency rapid response teams, UNICEF continues to expand activities in remote locations together with WFP and partners. More than 742,000 people, including over 156,000 children under 5, have been reached by the 49 UNICEF and partner RRMs to date. In 2015, 14 RRM missions in northern Jonglei and northern Unity States have reached close to 190,000 people, including 39,400 children under five. Several missions in 2015 have been undertaken in locations previously reached, both to address new needs following recent displacements and a change in context and to monitor programmes.

Two missions are currently underway in Pagail, Ayod County, Jonglei State, and in Makak, , Upper Nile State. In Pagil, UNICEF and partners have reached over 10,000 people with multi-sectoral assistance. This includes 2,543 children screened for malnutrition with 38 cases of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) detected and enrolled for treatment, as well as 150 cases of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM). Equally, 2,543 children were provided with Vitamin A and 2,128 children dewormed. Health interventions included the vaccination of 3,691 children against measles and 4,044 children against polio, while 803 pregnant women were vaccinated against tetanus. 765 medical consultations were also conducted and 191 clean delivery kits distributed. In addition, WASH supplies and mosquito nets were provided to over 2,400 households.

South Sudan SITUATION REPORT 4 June 2015

Summary Analysis of Programme Response

HEALTH: During the reporting period, a total of nine suspected cholera cases were reported in Juba PoC and town, of which one case was confirmed. The national response strategy has been activated to heighten surveillance. An Oral Cholera Vaccination campaign is planned for Juba PoC in the coming weeks.

South Sudan is expected to be hit by a national stock out of essential medecines starting as early as September. Currently, donors, the Ministry of Health and the UN system are discussing on how the crisis could be addressed in the immediate and medium term. A draft plan and quantification exercise will be finalized by early next week.

UNICEF continues to support primary health interventions country wide including emergency lifesaving interventions in the conflict affected states. UNICEF implementing partners are operating health services in Mingkaman IDP site as well as Malakal, Bentiu and Juba PoCs. During this reporting period, 18,226 people accessed basic primary health care services, 33.4 per cent of whom were children under 5. Acute respiratory tract infection (ARI) continued to be the leading cause of morbidity followed by diarrhoea and malaria. So far this year, 169,848 people have been reached with primary health care through UNICEF support.

Integrated community health volunteers in Bentiu PoC continued to provide integrated WASH, Health and Nutrition services. An increase in the cases of diarrhoea and fever has been observed during this reporting period, attributed to the heavy rains in the last two weeks worsened by poor drainage and inadequate latrines. Over 2,876 children with diarrhoea were treated with oral rehydration solution while 1,936 children with fever and difficulty in breathing were referred for further treatment to health facilities. Integrated community volunteers also continued their work in Mingkaman where 644 children were treated for malaria, pneumonia and diarrhoea, with a total of 2,917 children under 5 treated this year.

In Pibor, UNICEF has supported Bio-Aid to establish health facilities in Lekuangole and Gumruk. During the reporting period, 2,705 people including 259 demobilized children accessed health services. Malaria was the leading cause of morbidity (21 per cent) followed by ARI and diarrhoea. A total of 208 long-lasting insecticide treated nets (LLITNs) were distributed to pregnant women and children under 5. Bio-Aid community-based drug distributors (CBDs) in Lekuangole have started home visits and screening of children for danger signs for diarrhoea, malaria and pneumonia, distributing malaria medication and oral rehydration solution. A total of 193 cases (109 for malaria and 84 for diarrhoea) were treated in the first two weeks.

World Malaria Week was launched in Northern Bahr el Ghazal on 19 May. The official launch was presided over by the state Governor along with ministers, officials and children and their families. UNICEF supported the occasion with anti- malarial drugs and LLITNs for promotion of malaria prevention and treatment during the week. Awareness and social mobilization activities in Aweil north county health facilities included testing, treatment and prevention were carried out. UNICEF continued to contribute to the National Malaria Control Strategy through provision of LLITNs which are delivered through routine immunization and antenatal care services across the country. During this reporting period a total of 2,250 LLITNs were distributed to children under 5 and pregnant women in Malakal, Bentiu and Juba 3 PoC and Mingkaman IDP site as well as in Western Bahr el Ghazal.

A total of 12,639 pregnant mothers accessed antenatal care through UNICEF support in emergency-affected areas, among these 7,829 pregnant mothers attended first antenatal care visits and 3,092 pregnant mothers attended four or more antenatal care visits. A total of 5,587 pregnant mothers were counselled and tested for HIV, among them 62 tested HIV positive, and 57 of those were put on antiretroviral drugs treatment. A total of 1,057 deliveries were attended by skilled birth attendant.

Regular vaccination posts in Bentiu, Malakal and Juba PoCs have reached 3,232 children under 15 years of age with oral polio vaccination and 346 children with measles vaccination. Routine immunization services continue to be provided in all the PoCs and IDP locations. Two solar fridges were repaired in Gumuruk primary health care centre in the Greater Pibor Administrative Area (GPAA) to ensure re-establishment of routine immunization services.

The response to the circulating vaccine derived polio virus (cVDPV2) outbreak, confirmed in October 2014, continues as per outbreak response plan with implementation of short interval additional dose (SIAD) campaigns targeting

South Sudan SITUATION REPORT 4 June 2015 children under 15 in the three conflict affected states. To date 1,169,540 children 0 – 15 years of age in 28 counties have been reached with one round of SIAD, and of these 28 counties, 17 have conducted two rounds of SIAD reaching 476,959 children and only 12 have completed three rounds reaching 426,565 children under 15 years of age. The three consecutive rounds are being implemented in a staggered manner depending on access, partner presence, processing of funds, and availability of air assets for vaccine distribution. Nine counties are at various stages of preparation to implement the SIAD campaign in the coming week pending security access. Plans to implement Round 3 for Leer, Mayendit and Koch were suspended due to insecurity.

NUTRITION: So far this year, UNICEF and partners have admitted 50,254 children for the treatment of severe acute malnutrition (SAM). Rates of acute malnutrition, especially in greater Upper Nile, are rapidly deteriorating. Displacement, impeded humanitarian access and the oncoming rains will further worsen the situation. Nutrition services in Guit, Nhialdu and Kouch counties are still on hold as result of the security situation.

Recent SMART nutrition surveys conducted in Unity, Warrap and Northern Bar El Ghazal showed an alarming situation. Global acute malnutrition (GAM) rates included: Mayom (30 per cent), Abiemnhom (26.5 per cent), Twic (25.6 per cent), Aweil South (24.9 per cent), Panyijar (24.2 per cent), Yirol West (13.9 per cent) and Pariang (23.4 per cent). Crude mortality rate and under five mortality rates for Panyijar were 2.56 and 2.69/10,000 people per day, above the emergency threshold, while high mortality rates were also observed in Mayom and Abiemnhom, calling for close monitoring of the situation in Unity state.

The Interagency Phase Classification released on 27 May indicated a dire nutrition situation in most parts of the country. According to the IPC analysis projections, an estimated 4.6 million people will be in crisis and emergency of food security phase between May and June 2015. Child malnutrition rates remain above the emergency threshold of 15 per cent in both conflict-affected and high-burden states. Nearly one in three children under 5 are malnourished in the worst-hit areas of Greater Upper Nile, Warrap and Northern Bahr el Ghazal.

In Jonglei, screening data from ten counties showed proxy GAM and SAM rates of 21.8 per cent and 3.5 per cent. The critical nutrition situation is contributed mainly from Akobo, Twic East, and Nyirol. A total of 487 and 651 children were admitted to therapeutic feeding for SAM and MAM. The high admission numbers reflected on the high proxy GAM rate from the screening results.

In Upper Nile, of 4,924 children screened for malnutrition, 95 and 3,264 children were found to be severely and moderately malnourished. This gives a proxy SAM and GAM of 1.9 per cent and 11.8 per cent.

Two surveys carried out by Relief International were validated by the Nutrition Information Working Group showed 11.7 per cent malnutrition in Maban and 19.5 per cent in Longechuk. Surveys from Tearfund showed 20.1 per cent GAM in Twic East and 23.2 per cent Uror. All the SMART surveys apart from Maban had acute malnutrition rates above the 15 per cent emergency threshold according to the WHO classification.

WASH: As the rainy season begins, there are nine suspected cases of cholera in Juba PoC and Town, as well as 380 cases of acute watery diarrhoea (AWD) reported in Mingkamen in the last two weeks among the host community. Cholera preparedness and response mechanisms are already being rolled out by UNICEF, WHO and WASH partners. UNICEF has prepositioned cholera response supplies in Juba, Rumbek, Malakal, Bentiu, Wau and widely in Eastern Equatoria state.

While minimum Sphere Standards for access to water have been maintained in all PoCs, the increased population in Malakal and Bentiu PoCs has kept ratio of people per latrine below the minimum standard of 1:50. There is currently an average of 1 latrines for over 80 people in Malakal and Bentiu PoCs as well as in Mingkaman IDP camp.

In addition, 9,510 people received WASH supplies including buckets, jerry cans and soap. In Malakal PoC, as UNICEF is directly responsible for waste management, the frequency of solid and liquid waste collection and disposal services has been increased to cope with latest influx of IDPs.

So far this year, UNICEF has reached 59,760 people with access to safe water and 13,842 people with safe sanitation outside of PoCs and major IDP sites. In the last two weeks, three boreholes were rehabilitated in Lukongole in the Greater Pibor Administrative Area (GPAA) ensuring access to safe water for 1,500 people, while in Akobo three boreholes were rehabilitated benefiting over 1,215 people. In Old Fangak County, an additional borehole was rehabilitated benefiting over 660 people. In the GPAA, 38 latrines were constructed serving over 1,900 people with

5

South Sudan SITUATION REPORT 4 June 2015 basic sanitation services. Hygiene promotion activities collectively reached over 9,488 people, with 3,730 people having benefited from the distribution of WASH supplies.

EDUCATION: To date UNICEF has provided 103,826 children (35 per cent girls) aged 3-18 with Education in Emergencies (EiE) services through the provision of technical assistance, supplies and operating costs to partners as well as through RRM direct implementation. A total of 3,265 (22 per cent females) teachers, PTA members and other education personnel have been trained to effectively support EiE. In 2015, UNICEF and partners are aiming to return 400,000 children to learning across the country – including 200,000 in conflict affected areas – under the Back to Learning initiative. The final state Back to Learning launch was held on 3 June in Yambio, Western Equatoria state.

The fighting in Upper Nile and Unity states has closed temporary learning spaces (TLSs), cancelling catch up programmes designed to support children whose schooling has been interrupted by conflict. Community mobilization to encourage enrolment under the Back to Learning initiative was also put on hold in affected counties for security reasons. Many NGOs in counties including Koch, Panyinjiar, Wau Shilluk and Melut have had to stop operations and evacuate their staff to Juba. These partners will assess the situation by 15 June and restart operations when possible.

During the school holidays, UNICEF partners have trained 459 (30 per cent females) teachers, volunteers and PTA members on EIE and psychosocial support in the classroom to strengthen quality of learning and support the well-being of children and adolescents in conflict affected areas. An additional 37 TLSs were also built to support learning for 6,000 out-of-school children and adolescents in Lakes, Jonglei, Unity and Upper Nile.

UNICEF provided learning and teaching materials to support 30,055 children and adolescents to partners in Central Equatoria, Lakes, Unity, Upper Nile and Jonglei. In addition, UNICEF prepositioned supplies in the 5 hubs (Juba, Bentiu, Malakal, Rumbeck and Wau) sufficient for 65,000 children for use during the rainy season and through RRMs.

To strengthen conflict-sensitive education, the Peacebuilding programme worked with 58 government and NGO partners to develop teaching and learning materials to support the new Life skills and Peacebuilding curriculum. The support materials, which should be finalised by December, are anchored on six themes: personal development, social and citizenship development, peace building and conflict resolution, healthy living, environmental education and entrepreneurship education.

In Pibor, UNICEF partner Nile Hope trained 27 PTA members to support learning for children and adolescents and increase community participation in schools. The construction of a second TLS has been completed and will support the enrolment and attendance of additional children. In addition, the Ministry of Education conducted a two week training for 35 teachers on Accelerated Learning Programme methodology and content in Pibor and Boma.

CHILD PROTECTION: The recent conflict has continued to take a heavy toll on children with a total of 161 incidents of grave child rights violations reported this year, 84 of which have been reported from Unity State in May alone. This includes the verified killing of 95 children and unverified reports of large scale use of children by all parties to the conflict. UNICEF has contributed significantly to the collection and analysis of reports, conducting 58 individual interviews in May. Unverified reports of similar grave child rights violations have been reported in Upper Nile State.

The fighting has also continued to adversely affect service delivery. One of the seven mine risk education teams were on stand down during this period, due to fighting in Upper Nile State. However, 8,768 people (57 per cent children) were reached with mine risk education in other areas. Some partners, including UNIDO in Unity and MMTT in Upper Nile have been displaced and temporarily ceased operations and staff in PoCs have been diverted to respond to the influx of new arrivals at the PoCs. Despite these challenges, an additional, 156,098 children have been reached with other critical child protection services, including psychosocial support, case management and prevention messaging. The 1,755 children released in the Greater Pibor Administrative Area continue to receive family tracing and reunification services, with almost 90 per cent now reunified with their families. Partnerships remain in place to continue to follow up children who have returned home, monitor for re-recruitment and to provide additional assistance to these children to access education and other social services.

UNICEF and its partners continue to provide family tracing and reunification (FTR) services for 7,638 active cases, which includes an additional 75 cases identified in the past two weeks. Of the 8,289 total unaccompanied, separated, and missing children identified since the beginning of the crisis, 1,275 are unaccompanied (41 per cent girls), 4,685 are separated (49 per cent girls), and 2,329 are reported as missing (56 per cent girls). Seventy-nine reunifications were

6

South Sudan SITUATION REPORT 4 June 2015 successfully facilitated by UNICEF and its partners during this reporting period, bringing the total number of family reunifications to 1,304 since 2014 (19 per cent of all registered unaccompanied children and 21 per cent of all registered separated children). Due to the most recent violence in Upper Nile and Unity States during May 2015, 875 separated and unaccompanied children in Unity State and 234 children in Upper Nile State cannot be reached as FTR partners had to pull out of highly insecure areas in these states. These children are at risk of secondary separation and delayed reunification.

In Rumbek, Lakes State, UNICEF together with partners conducted Clinical Care for Sexual Assault Survivors training for 25 medical practitioners from 16 medical facilities who will provide medical services to survivors of sexual violence. An additional 33 police and social workers from Central Equatoria were trained in GBV coordination. This joint team of police officers and social workers will now work as a team to implement a common action plan designed to rebuild trust with communities and make police and social work services more survivor-friendly. In Malakal, UNICEF conducted psychosocial first aid training for a partner who provides psychosocial support to survivors in the Malakal PoC and Wau Shilluk. UNICEF and partners have been providing medical and psychosocial support to survivors and scaling up efforts on awareness raising of existing GBV services to new IDPs arriving in Malakal due to the conflict in other areas. As a state GBV sub-cluster coordinator, UNICEF is carefully monitoring the situation in Upper Nile state leading the implementation of the preparedness plan for Malakal PoC and other areas like Melut and Renk.

COMMUNICATION FOR DEVELOPMENT (C4D): UNICEF is supporting cholera prevention and response activities, including prepositioning of social mobilization materials, airing of radio spots and capacity building of social mobilizers and hygiene promoters. UNICEF works closely with 32 radio stations to air radio spots and key messages and conduct talk shows and interviews on Cholera preparedness as well as Ebola preparedness and for the Back to Learning Campaign.

As a part of the polio outbreak response, in Jonglei, 209 social mobilizers reached 43,849 households with polio messages through a mix of communication channels in Bor, Twic east and Duk as well as in the Greater Pibor Administrative Area. Additionally, 36 community meetings were conducted with key stake holders at county and payam level and announcements made at 100 churches. Challenges in implementing the campaign include inadequate capacity of social mobilizers, insecurity and inaccessibility due to poor roads and insecurity. However, UNICEF continues to work with the government, local authorities, partners and fund managers to build capacity of social mobilizers to implement social mobilization and communication activities.

SUPPLY & LOGISTICS: Nineteen trucks containing different WASH supplies are now heading to Bentiu with Force Protection/UNMISS convoy due to on-going insecurity. UNICEF also dispatched eight final trucks of WASH supplies to Bentiu. Road accessibility was possible for most locations until the last week of May but currently due to the prevailing security situation across the country and the rainy season, almost all areas are impassable.

Following the arrival of the Barge in Bor on 24 May, 52 tons of different humanitarian supplies were dispatched from UNICEF Juba warehouse to Logistics cluster warehouse in Bor. The barge will leave Bor to Malakal in the last week of June 2015. Six trucks containing cross sectoral supplies were sent to Rumbek and Bor, whilst another four trucks each capacity of 20 tons of clean delivery kits were sent to Rumbek, Torit and Yambio. Four trucks containing clean delivery kits, blankets, recreational kits, child friendly kits and diarrhoea kits were sent to Yei and Morobo.

FUNDING: Against UNICEF’s 2015 requirement of US$ 165.6 million, US$ 46.9 million has been received - leaving an unmet requirement of US$118.6 million. UNICEF South Sudan would like to thank the CERF Secretariat for the contribution of US$ 1.1 million that has been received to meet the WASH and education needs in Ajuong Thok, Unity State. In addition, a number of thematic humanitarian contributions amounting to $1.1 million has been received from various National Committees which have been allocated to meet the urgent needs essential for maintaining operations in this difficult context.

1 Partner reporting rates remain below 100 per cent; UNICEF continues to work with its implementing partners to improve monitoring and reporting of results. 2 UNICEF annual targets for Health, Child Protection and Education are higher than those of the 2015 SRP, as UNICEF requirements are higher than the inter- agency appeal. 3 Following the inter-agency decision, Multi-Sector Refugee Cluster will be responsible for the results of nutrition intervention for refugees. UNICEF and partners will continue to assist refugee population, and all nutrition actors in South Sudan will benefit from UNICEF’s SAM treatment supplies. Nutrition results for refugees will be updated by UNHCR on a monthly basis. 4 Targets and results of vaccination against measles and polio only reflects the campaign numbers in order to avoid double counting with the routine EPI results.
