Unconfirmed reports indicate 23 people were killed durng the fight. Nearly, 4,600 people fled to Malakal PoC site and Malakal town remained largely deserted as of 9 April. The road from Akoka to Malakal remained closed over the past week. Meanwhile, the whereabouts of three aid workers who were transporting relief supplies from Malakal to Melut remained unclear, with partners reporting that the missing aid workers were not reachable since 1 April. Elsewhere, tension remained high in Nasir and Renk also in Upper Nile State. In Nassir, incessant firing on either side of the Sobat River was a daily occurrence last week. On 8 April, air bombings were reported in Aweil West County in Northern Bahr el Ghazal State reportedly killing four people and injuring nine others. Bombings were also reported in Raja County in Western Bahr el Ghazal State on 7 April. In Raja, 24 bombs were reportedly dropped in Delhi and Rojo payams. No one has claimed responsibility for the bombing. This is a new dimension to the conflict as Northern Bahr el Ghazal and Western Bahr el Ghazal states were not directly affected by the conflict. In Lakes State, the security situation in Rumbek North County remained tense following an attack by armed forces in Maper town on 5 April. During the attack, twelve people were reportedly killed and 40 others wounded. Local authorities also reported that some 1,500 cattle were stolen and 16 houses burnt in the attack. The food security and nutrition assessment mission to Maper area was suspended due to insecurity. www.unocha.org/south-sudan The mission of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of HumanitarianAffairs (OCHA) is to mobilize and coordinate effective and principled humanitarian action in partnership with national and international actors. Coordination Saves Lives South Sudan Crisis Situation Report No. 82 2 Humanitarian response Over the past week, 32 humanitarian organizations including some seven from South Sudan met in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to review cross border operations from Ethiopia to South Sudan. Although, the UN agencies were able to move humanitarian supplies from Ethiopia to South Sudan, the NGOs experienced difficulties in securing the paperwork for movement of supplies. Actions were agreed including reviewing current gaps with the pipeline managers, communicating urgent gaps that may not be covered by the pipelines and working with agencies to explore ways in which more supplies can be provided from Ethiopia. A follow up meeting will be held in one month to review progress. Humanitarian Funding During the high level event on the humanitarian crisis in South Sudan and its impact in the region held in Nairobi, Kenya on 9 February. Some $529 million were pledged to support the humanitarian response in South Sudan and the region. As of 9 April 2015, about $296 million, representing 56 per cent of the total amount pledged were committed including $240 million for response inside South Sudan. During the week, new committments of about $30 million, $3.8 million and $3.4 million were received from the governments of Japan, Sweden and Ireland respectively to sup- port projects aimed at meeting the urgent needs of conflict affected people in South Sudan. It is vital that remaining pledges are quickly converted into commitments and disbursements to enable aid agencies to take advantage of the dry season ahead of the rains.

Some of the locations includes, Atar, Ganyiel, Guit, Koch, Kotdalok, Leer, Mankien, and Mathiang. ● 900 metric tonnes of humanitarian supplies for ten different humanitarian partners were delivered to Malakal during the week. Off-loading of supplies was underway. The humanitarian barge was still bound for Melut. ● In addition to one fixed-wing asset, the Mi26 will also be restored to the cluster fleet in the coming days to increase the daily airlift capacity. Constraints ● Funding continues to be a major constraint in 2015. Overall shortfall of 75 per cent for logistics projects were realised. Additional, $113 million is required for common logistics services, passenger transport, and infrastructure works. ● The road from Rupkuai to Leer and Mayendit remained impassible for all vehicles due to poor road conditions. South Sudan Crisis Situation Report No. 82 3 ● The latest access constraints map can be found here: http://logcluster.org/sites/default/files/maps/ssd_lc_op_ accessconstraints_a3l_20150403.pdf Emergency Telecommunications Needs ● Humanitarian organizations require Information Communication Technologies including security telecommunications, internet connectivity, technical support, and training. The Humanitarian Internet Support Project (HISP), aims to provide a more sustainable and reliable internet connectivity service in sites where humanitarian presence is stable and a long-term solution is needed. Response ● The cluster supported 24 repeater sites for the provision of security telecommunications services during the week. On-site and remote ICT support services were provided to ten data connectivity sites across the country. The implementation of the new Humanitarian Internet Support Project (HISP) service were completed in Aweil and Malakal sites. ● In Mingkaman, Lakes State, radio communication issues were solved. The cluster restored the repeater providing reliable security telecommunications for the humanitarians operating in the area. A front line HISP service deployment assessment mission was also completed. Partners in the area were involved and their technical needs evaluated. ● Elsewhere, in Malakal, Upper Nile State, a mission to deploy a user authentication system for the new HISP service was carried out for the ETC site. This addressed the issue of unauthorized use of the internet services, allowed more regulated and reliable internet connectivity services. ICT Helpdesk services were also provided. ● The cluster continued to provide radio programming services to humanitarian partners. During the reporting period, 24 radios were programmed for three partners. Constraints ● The cluster experienced a funding shortfall in 2014. In the CHF 2015 first standard allocation some $900,000 were allocated to the cluster out of the $4.5 million requirement for the year. To meet funding requirements, the cluster is looking for other funding sources. Response clusters CCCM Needs ● 1.5 million people (out of 1.9 million in need) are to be assisted through camp coordination and camp management services including services within camps and settlements like service monitoring; displacement tracking, registration, and profiling; and involvement of community leaders and key stakeholders in camp management and response. Response ● In Bentiu PoC, the number of displaced people increased from 53,000 to about 75,000 people. Of those, 42,095 are female. ● Partners were expediting work on the extension of the PoC site to accommodate new arrivals. During the week, overall site clearance was 72 per cent completed with sector 3 and sector 4, at 100 per cent completed.

It is one of the 5 counties in the Northern Bar El Ghazal (NBeG) that borders Aweil North, Aweil East, Aweil Centre and Raga Counties. Community members depend on livestock production, farm produce, market purchases for their household livelihood. Other sources of income in the county include small-scale enterprises, fishing, charcoal trading and apiculture. As reported by RRC and County Agricultural Department, since September 2020, an estimated 2,422 households have been affected by flooding in areas along the River Lol, with households fleeing to higher ground to escape the rising waters; women and children are most affected. On 8th to 9th October Humanitarian partners from five different organisations, the RRC and County Agricultural Department launched Inter-agency Rapid Needs Assessment (IRNA) mission in 14 villages across seven of the most effected Payams.
