IRNA Report: [Kuernyang, , ] [25-26 November 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 Main cause of displacement:  Conflict – attacks in Pigi / Canal and attacks in New Fangak / Phom el Zeraf by warring factions.

 Flooding Displaced population numbers :  IDPs to Baibor / Manajang Payam = under 4,000 IDPs (pending registration and verification) Location of IDPs in Baibor / Manajang Payam:

 Kuernyang (Payam headquarters)  Kuotnyakoang boma

 Wanglel boma  Bei boma

 Kuemduok boma More specifically - Pajak village and forest, Kerial, Nyalual, Wichmuon and Pakan villages (mostly along the Zeraf river). Origins of IDP population : - Kaldak, Pigi / - Otherparts of Pigi / Fangak County - Phom el Zeraf / New Fangak (County HQ) - Kuerdap - Wangthok - Gerger - Bab village (burnt) - Tambong village (burnt) - Kuerkan - Kuotnyikang - Kuerthiani Main impact of conflict :  Displacement  Loss of livelihood, shelter, food and non-food items The latest IDPs (as at 26 Nov 2014) were displaced from villages along the banks of the Nile River in the northern part of Fangak County due to conflict. Kuernyang itself has very few IDPs but there are reported IDPs in the forests and villages along the River Zeraf who would easily come o Kueryang for assistance if a response is provided. Suffice to say heavy fighting was reported in New Fangak and was reportedly captured a few days after the assessment. This has resulted in more IDPs. Tanbong and Bap villages were attacked and burnt around 10 Nov 2014. Approximately 2,000 people fled the area in different directions. Many of the IDPs found in Kuernyang have relatives in the area. New Fangak suffered heavy shelling around 6 November. Most part of the IDPs from Pigi/Canal arrived in September while the IDPs from New Fangak arrived in the past 6-8 days. The IDPs reported attacks during the night, which led to a great number of family separations. Besides, they reported a huge number of tukuls being burnt and people killed. They also fled without any possessions; basically just with the clothes they were wearing. They consider Kuernyang a safe place for settlement because it has not suffered any attack since the beginning of the conflict. The area is difficult to access, being surrounded by two rivers, has an airstrip and it is considerably far from the frontlines. The team was not able to talk to many IDPs, who are allegedly scattered around the village and in other parts of the Barboi Payam. A further verification needs to be carried out in order to check the authenticity of numbers provided. Finally, Kuernyang can be considered a potential catchment area to address the needs of IDPs displaced by the recent attacks in the villages north of Fangak County.

IRNA Report: [Kuernyang, Fangak, JONGLEI], [25-26 Nov 2014] | 3

Drivers and underlying factors The conflict crisis in Pigi / Canal and more recently (as at 26 November 2014) in New Fangak (also known as Phom el Zeraf) has caused displacement. This has resulted in IDPs moving from Pigi / Canal locations towards Fangak. In November, armed actors started shelling New Fangak from along the river. This caused the host population as well as the IDPs from Pigi / Canal who had sought shelter in New Fangak to again flee in different direction, with some coming to Baibor / Manajang Payam, whose center is Kuernyang.

There are increasing reports of continued shelling in locations of Fangak along the river. This is anticipated to turn into a protracted conflict in the area which will mean long term displacement. It will not be possible to return to their villages along the Nile River due to the continued conflict. Two villages namely Bab and Tam-bony have been burn down completely.

IDPs are therefore fleeing away from New Fangak to locations that include Kuernyang and its surrounds. Many are reported to be still in the forests between Kuernyang and New Fangak, mostly along the river – with the hope that things may get better and they would be able to return. The only closest location that is accessible and relatively safe from New Fangak is Kuernyang before reaching further down to Old Fangak. Scope of the crisis and humanitarian profile The conflict was initially reported in Pigi / Canal County, particularly affecting locations along the river like Khorfulus, Canal and Kaldak. As people fled from the affected areas to go further inland or move off completely, reports were received of people moving to Kamel and more recently to Kurwai (within Pigi /Canal County) but further inland. Other reports identified IDPs proceeding to (Pultruk, ), County, (specifically in Walgak) as well as Fangak County (including New Fangak, Old Fangak and Baibor / Panajang Payam (of which Kuernyang is the headquarters).

There has been recent reports of shelling in New Fangak and surrounding locations, especially those along the river. This has caused the New Fangak host population as well as the IDPs from Pigi / Canal to be further displaced, resulting in many moving to different locations, including Kuernyang.

It is anticipated that the conflict may further deepen in New Fangak, which could lead to further displacements.

In Kuernyang where the assessment team went, the number of people seen was very minimal – hardly up to 300 people. However, we received reports that upto 4,000 IDPs were at least within Baibor / Panajang Payam, whose headquarters is Kuernyang. The majority of these are in Parjak area. Others are along the river Zeraf in locations such as Wichmon, Pakan, Kerial and Nyalual.

The majority of the displaced are women and children. The men are reportedly either in the frontline fighting or reportedly dead.

There was no accurate figure of the displaced population in the area since no headcount nor registration had been done. However, it is estimated that combining the 4 bomas of Baibor / Panajang Payam would yield up to 4,000 IDPs. Status of the population in the affected area A few of the IDPs have run to locations where they have relative. Many more who did not have relatives are reportedly in the forests along the river. However, even the IDPs that are with host family are reportedly over crowded in the shelters that they are provided. As such, some of the them are reportedly having to sleep in the open spaces. There has been reports of lack of shelter and NFIs in addition to the primary request for food. Health care, mosquito nets, safe water and fishing gears were identified as other key needs in the emergency set up.

In general, there is lack of access to basic social services, food insecurity, separated families, vulnerable women and children and a general sense of insecurity. Key response priorities

Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM)  While the population is in need of services, there is no demand for a formal CCCM presence at this point in the area.  Any actors responding in the area should consider communicating with the CCCM cluster to inform about population movements and tracking.  Organizations with a previous presence in the area (Christian Mission Aid and CADA) would be especially well positioned to support CCCM information activities and population tracking if they resume activities in the area. Education  Without requiring too many resources, education should be restored in Kuernyang immediately to avoid loss of a generation of young people. The longer the children remain without learning, the less likely they will ever access school and crucial life-sustaining skills.  Volunteer teachers should be mobilized and trained in life skills and basic teaching methods.  Teaching and learning supplies should be deployed to Kuernyang, especially blackboards, exercise books and pens. Rapid teacher training in life skills, psychosocial support and basic teaching methods should be conducted for the volunteer teachers.  With support from the community, a temporary learning structure should be erected in the community using local materials and labor.  A life skills curriculum should be taught to all learners, with an emphasis on psychosocial support, hygiene practices, peacebuilding, protection against recruitment and health messaging.  Education actors should link closely with Child Protection to care for separated and orphaned children. Food Security and Livelihoods  There is need for registration to know the exact number of IDPs for intervention planning  Distribution of food to IDPs and host community  Provision of animal health service  Provision of fishing kits Health  No urgent needs have been detected.  No outbreak has been detected during the visit.  While there is a PHCC operating in capacity of PHCU, with fairly regular reporting, there is shortage of medical supply and need for refresher course for health workers.  Provision of mosquito nets will be requires as the utilization rate of mosquito net is very low.  As the last EPI vaccination was done September 2013, there is need for reestablishment of routine immunization NFIs and Emergency Shelter  A need for shelter and NFI cluster verification/registration exercise to identify the number of IDPs plus the vulnerable people from the host community.  Prepositioning of NFI loose items  Distribution of NFI loose items (Plastic sheet, Mosquito net, cooking set, blanket and sleeping mats) Nutrition  Undertake nutrition screening to determine the magnitude of the problem in order to provide an appropriate response.  Preposition nutrition supplies for intervention such as plumpy nut and CSB. Protection  Support to protection mitigating measures in the event of humanitarian distributions.  Registration of unaccompanied and separated minors and potential FTR  Protection monitoring and mainstreaming.  Provision of psycho-social support to children and assessment of the need to set up child friendly spaces.  Raise awareness about child recruitment  Establish referral pathways and liaise with WASH, FSL, and Nutrition partners WASH

 No priority WASH response. The situation is the same as many parts of .  Numbers of displaced per unit area are low, and open defecation is not a significant problem as there is plenty of land, there has been no rain lately and likely to be no rain for many more months.  However if health services were re-established, it would be advised that the hand pump platform be rehabilitated and fenced to minimize contamination. It would also benefit from minor maintenance.  Households using surface water would benefit from access to filters.  All household would benefit from hygiene education.

Humanitarian access Physical access The only access into the area for response would be by air. There is an available airstrip that can land both fixed wing (if it does not rain) and helicopters. There are no road networks in the area. River access is currently limited because of the overgrowth of water lilies and grass in the waterways. Kuernyang is considered the safest of all the locations around it. The nearest other locations where a response could be launched would be either Old Fangak or New Fangak (Phom el Zeraf). There are no available telephone networks in the area. Only Thuraya works. There are no readily available designated storage facilities in Kuernyang. However if it is supplies that fit into a tukul, the community is willing to assist with provision. Land is however available to put up storage warehouses. Humanitarian access [Delete questions after answering] What are the main considerations affecting the local population and the delivery of assistance (armed groups, gender based violence, sexual exploitation and abuse, and UXOs) and where are they? The main considerations affecting the affected populations include safety concerns. They are fleeing armed conflict in Pigi / Canal and New Fangak locations. As such, they still do not feel very secure even though Kuernyang is relatively safe. Most of the men are not readily available in Kuernyang and are reportedly either in the frontline or in the peripheries of Kuernyang protecting the community. Most of the displaced population is reportedly still displaced in the bush with little expectation to move to accessible locations.

Key findings Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Key findings  The current IDP population in Kuernyang was not significant (roughly 200-300 viewed) yet reports of significant displaced populations across the payam were frequent. There does not appear to be a centralized location in which IDPs have congregated.  Most IDPs share tribal and familial relations with host community, and have found sources of food and shelter with relatives. Relations between host community and IDPs are peaceful and cooperative.  IDPs have arrived to the area in waves. Some were originally displaced from Malakal to Canal, then Canal to New Fangak before arriving (approximately 150 people in March). Others came from Pigi / Canal, reporting a group of 3,037 individuals in the area). Most of the displaced were relatively recent arrivals (1-3 weeks) and reported coming from small villages south of the Nile where recent fighting had occurred.  IDPs reported that they left many behind when they fled (old people and children), as well as cattle, and that they believe more IDPs will continue to arrive. Most IDPs reported that the intended to remain in the area until their homes become more peaceful. They also stated that they would flee further from New Fangak (to the south or west) if the violence moves to the Kuernyang area.  CADA occasionally visits the area from New Fangak, but no other actors are present in the area. The CMA base has a radio that is shared by the host community and IDPs to stay in contact with other areas.  No actors are coordinating activities and no one has conducted a registration in the area.  Community governance structures in the area seem to informally include IDPs, as many reported that their chiefs remained in the village or fled in a different direction. Priorities for Immediate Humanitarian response

 While the population is in need of services, there is no demand for a formal CCCM presence at this point in area.  Any actors responding in the area should consider communicating with the CCCM cluster to inform about population movements and tracking.  Organizations with a previous presence in the area (Christian Mission Aid and CADA) would be especially well positioned to support CCCM information activities and population tracking if they resume activities in the area. Education Key findings  There is currently no school in Kuernyang, and learning has not occurred since December 2013. This is due to the lack of teachers, materials, and learning space.  There were approximately 500 children attending Kuernyang Primary School prior to the crisis in December 2013. In class P1-P7, these children were taught by 4 untrained and unpaid teachers.  Currently there are approximately 700-800 school-aged children in need of education services, due to the arrival of approx. 200 school-aged IDPs since December. Many of these IDPs arrived within the last 2 months. All of the children have gone without learning for nearly one year.  The closest school that is open is a 4-hour walk from Kuernyang. Some parents have sent their children to Old Fangak (more than 6 hours walk) to receive an education since August.  The former local material learning space was destroyed due to IDPs using the materials to create shelter. There are no teaching materials, except for one half-destroyed blackboard and one textbook.  The children are mostly idle, or spend their time caring for cattle or playing. There is no engagement for the older children, and the boys are reportedly likely to join the armed groups if given the opportunity.  CADA is a national NGO currently implementing Education in Emergencies in the county and payam but is not currently in Kuernyang.  There is a great deal of enthusiasm around education in the community and parents want their children to be educated. However, some parents also believe that fighting is a viable and respectful occupation for young boys. Priorities for Immediate Humanitarian response  Without requiring too many resources, education should be restored in Kuernyang immediately to avoid loss of a generation of young people. The longer the children remain without learning, the less likely they will ever access school and crucial life-sustaining skills.  While most of the former teachers are not currently in Kuernyang, the headteacher remains and is willing to teach. There are volunteer teachers among the IDP population who also wish to teach, if provided with appropriate teaching materials and learning space. They do not require payment. The head of the PTA is very supportive and engaged and is willing to mobilize parents and learners.  Teaching and learning supplies should be deployed to Kuernyang, especially blackboards, exercise books and pens. Rapid teacher training in life skills, psychosocial support and basic teaching methods should be conducted for the volunteer teachers.  With support from the community, a temporary learning structure should be erected in the community using local materials and labor. The PTA should lead in the maintenance of the structure. There are currently 2 of the original members of the PTA in Kuernyang so mobilization should occur to gather more members to support the school.  A life skills curriculum should be taught to all learners, with an emphasis on psychosocial support, hygiene practices, peacebuilding, protection against recruitment and health messaging.  Education actors should link closely with Child Protection to care for separated and orphaned children. Food security and livelihoods Key findings Food security and livelihoods:  The food security situation for both for IDPs and host community households is precarious with the IDPs most affected. Most households consuming 1-2 meals a day mainly composed of cereals and wild foods (lalop leaves and fruits)

Coping strategies: Common coping strategies applied included;  Excessive consumption of wild foods

Inter-Agency Rapid Needs Assessment http://southsudan.humanitarianresponse.info/

IRNA Report: [Kuernyang, Fangak, JONGLEI], [25-26 Nov 2014] | 7

 Reduction in number of meals  IDPs are dependent on the host community for their food needs  Slaughtering animal, especially goat and sheep

Agriculture:  The farming system is generally less diversified with communities planting mainly sorghum, maize and a few vegetables like pumpkins  Sorghum was affected by flood in the field and grain harvested is very low general while for the Maize, the harvest is good but will not last more than two month due to little areas cultivated.

Livestock situation  Livestock situation was generally reported well though cases of endemic diseases were reported like. i. Respiratory diseases ii. Skin disease reported iii. Diarrhea cases was witnessed  Insecurity related to livestock is reported minimal  Lack of animal health services especially following the crisis although there 4 animal health workers but lacking drugs and vaccines.

Priorities for Immediate Humanitarian response  There is need for registration to know the exact number of IDPs for intervention planning  Distribution of food to IDPs and host community  Provision of animal health service  Provision of fishing kits Health Key findings  There is a functional health facility originally in form of PHCC, which is working in capacity of PHCU after conflict. Fairy regular support from CMA is provided in form of incentive for health care providers and medical supplies. Last medical supply was provided in August 2014. The supplies transported by boat to Fom and from there it is carried on foot by community member.  IDSR weekly report has been provided through HF radio to CMA. The last report dated 26/10/2014. In that report, total of 173 patients (including 126 children under 5 years) received medical services. Highest morbidity among patients was suspected malaria with 44 cases (42 cases among U5) and the 2nd highest was acute bloody diarrhea 4 cases (3 cases among U5). The data highlighted the need for a refresher course in malaria diagnosis and treatment and potentially an iCCM course. The number of provided services is not corresponding with the observed population.  According to the assistant community health worker, there are 4 staff in that PHCU, although during the visit, just 1 one them was there.  The nearest higher level health facility is a PHCC in Juaibor, which is accessible by foot and will take roughly 14 hours to reach there.  Nearest hospital for surgical and obstetrics care in located in Old Fangak, which takes 17 hours to reach there and the availability of services due to recent clashes is not known.  It is highlighted that the local population has a belief that if a child with suspected measles is brought to a health facility they will die. This needs further investigation by the health cluster.  No outbreaks have been detected and no life threatening cases have been seen.  There no utilization of mosquito nets, which requires that they be provided to them.  No clinical malnutrition observed,  The population of Kuernyang village is less than 1000, and distinguishing of IDP and host community is hard, as they are integrated well. Priorities for Immediate Humanitarian response  No urgent needs have been detected.  No outbreak has been detected during the visit.  While there is a PHCC operating in capacity of PHCU, with fairly regular reporting, there is shortage of medical supply and need for refresher courses for health worker.

 Provision of mosquito net will be required as the utilization rate of mosquito nets are very low.  As the last EPI vaccination was done September 2013, there is need for reestablishment of routine immunization NFIs and Emergency Shelter Key findings  Majority of IDPs are staying with the host community where shelter is not enough for many people in one compound. Some IDPs have occupied abandoned tukuls and some are under trees due to lack of shelter. There is a need for distribution of basic NFI.  Some IDPs fled with no basic NFI items with them.  Shelter materials like poles are available in the area from around forest, grass are few/limited. Priorities for Immediate Humanitarian response  A need for shelter and NFI cluster verification/registration exercise to identify the number of IDPs plus the vulnerable people from the host community.  Preposition of NFI loose items  Distribution of NFI loose items (Plastic sheet, Mosquito net, cooking set, Blanket and sleeping mats) Nutrition Key findings  By observation, there are cases of malnutrition that need to be attended to. No nutrition measurements were done but it is estimated that upto 20% of the children may be undernourished. Priorities for Immediate Humanitarian response  Undertake nutrition screening to determine the magnitude of the problem in order to provide an appropriate response.  Preposition nutrition supplies for intervention such as plumpy nut and CSB. Protection Key findings  According to the population, Kuernyang is a safe place for settlement due to the distances to government controlled areas and frontlines. IDPs reported a significant amount of walking to the Nile river banks.  An unknown number of separated and unaccompanied minors in different places surround Kuernyang. The IDPs reported fleeing from attacks in New Fangak and along the Nile River at night which contributed for family separation.  There are reports of separated, unaccompanied children and orphans that are being taken care of by other community members.  There is sheer lack of access to basic services, including lack of food that triggers family separation.  It was difficult to gauge the safety of women and youth in the area when they are conducting livelihood activities including collecting water and firewood. The team did not have the time to build the relationships needed to pursue topics of SGBV and child abduction. More information is needed.  The fact that children are not attending school makes them easy targets for armed groups’ recruitment.  There is also no proper sanitation, hence open defecation. No treated water  IDP women have to walk a few hours to find food when not available in the community. No reports of GBV yet (Further assessment necessary)  The IDP population present was predominantly female and children. Some reported that their husbands were on the front line or dead. Priorities for Immediate Humanitarian response  Registration and verification of IDPs.  Further assessment on protection needs, particularly GBV issues.  Registration of unaccompanied and separated minors and potential FTR  Provision of psycho-social support to children and assessment of the need to set up child friendly spaces.  Raise awareness about child recruitment WASH

Key findings  There is one hand pump (at location: 9°19'25.38"N, 30°53'7.78"E) in working condition but needs minor maintenance. The hand pump is 5 minutes’ walk from the airstrip and the former Christian Mission Aid compound (9°19'19.65"N, 30°53'11.55"E). The hand pump is estimated to be 15-18 pipes, and is quite hard to pump related to its depth, but the extra deep head with handle was not installed. (The platform inscription reads: “ON 9/2/14”).  The installation of the water tank’s spout is too low for a jerry can and so residents use their hands to direct the water into the jerry cans which is a point of contamination.  The hand pump drainage channel needs to be constructed, and it needs to be fenced to keep animals out.  Only those living close to the hand pump are using the pump. Other residents/IDPs mention accessing surface water, though this was not observed during the time of the assessment.  Surface water in a nearby seasonal river (visible on the satellite map) can be found approx. 10mins walk from the airstrip along an established path (Eg: collection point: 9°18'48.85"N, 30°53'27.14"E).  Another seasonal river was noted by residents in the opposite direction.  When these nearby seasonal rivers dry up completely (from April to June) - the local community are said to relocate to a lake called Kwam Dwok 140 degrees SSE from 9°18'48.85"N, 30°53'27.14"E, until the rains start again in June.  Collected water is consumed without treatment, and used for drinking, cooking and cleaning of cooking utensils.  Use of water for hand washing was not mentioned or observed.  Residents generally seemed clean in most cases, women and girls especially but some men and boys also. Houses were also well kept, and tidy.  Faeces were observed in the environment – mainly animal faeces from cattle/goats, but some human faeces also. Open defecation was cited as the only means of toileting. There is sufficient space between settlements (5 to 10 minutes’ walk between compounds), and so there is plenty of bush/scrub in which to defecate.  Burnt bricks and sand available locally upto 1 hours walk from the locality  There are most of the India Mark 2 hand pump parts available in the CMA compound, and there is meant to be a pump mechanic with a full tool set within 1 hours’ walk in a neighboring village. Priorities for Immediate Humanitarian response  Kuernyang was a quiet rural settlement with a low population density. In comparison to other Nuer IDPs sites visited in South Sudan the typical signs of displacement were not visible. Resident were relatively clean, and healthy, and had access to water, including a working hand pump and plenty of room for open defecation with significant concern of contamination of water sources.  Whilst it is likely that Kuernyang has been a transit location for IDPs and may have absorbed a small number of IDPs over a large area, it is not considered a high priority IDP location. The WASH needs seen in the location are the same as any other rural location in country, if not better, so no emergency WASH response is recommended.  To support any health response in the area that may access water from the borehole however, the rehabilitation of the borehole platform, with the raising of the pump pedestal to allow the standard 20L jerry can to fit underneath, the construction of the drainage channel and the fencing of the borehole would be beneficial to ensure the best quality of water collected.  Development WASH actors wishing to intervene in the area, may consider the distribution of household water filters, and hygiene promotion training, as well as the promotion of the household latrines made entirely from local materials, through a participative approach.

Assessment information IRNA stands for “Initial Rapid Needs Assessment”. Initial: Serves as a ‘first look’ at locations where immediate emergency humanitarian response is anticipated, and determines immediate priorities for intervention – registration and targeting of caseload can be required as follow- up, or ‘blanket’ distribution of aid can be actioned directly. Rapid: Deployed quickly, from a list of pre-trained and pre-qualified humanitarian personnel Needs Assessment: The IRNA is an Inter-agency and inter-cluster process using an ICWG-endorsed tool, reporting format and methodology – namely The IRNA form, and the IRNA Reporting Template. The IRNA was endorsed by the South Sudan Inter Cluster Working Group (ICWG) and launched in November 2012, combined with training of humanitarian actors at Juba and state level.
