There are currently 97,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) sheltering in nine UN bases across South Sudan.

The CCCM Cluster ensures that basic humanitarian living conditions are provided, while also building the foundations for voluntary return and recovery interventions where it is possible and safe to do so. IOM and UNHCR co-lead the CCCM Cluster, in coordination with ACTED. IOM continues to act as CCCM state focal point in Upper Nile, Jonglei, West Bahr el Ghazal and Warrap. Site Development, Expansion and ImprovemenT (CCCM and Shelter/NFI shared responsibilities) Efforts to increase capacity and improve living conditions at Protection of Civilian (PoC) sites in Malakal, Bor, and UN House in Juba are ongoing. Site development activities are also progressing in the spontaneous settlement sites in Mingkaman. 2

3 Malakal PoC Site preparation at the new PoC site is complete. The construction of internal roads and WASH infrastructure is ongoing. As of July 21, 11,500 people have been relocated to the new site and 1,290 tents have allocated to households. There are over 17,000 individuals at the Malakal PoC. The layout of plots is under review by a CCCM partner in order create space for an additional 1,900 internally displaced persons (IDPs). Bor PoC Engineering work at the new PoC site is progressing. Relocation of 4,123 IDPs to the new PoC is ongoing. The new site can accommodate up to 8,000 individuals as a contingency measure. PoC The development of the PoC is ongoing and there is a need for an additional WASH infrastructure, culverts for draining, heavy equipment for excavation and soil/sand transport and water availability needs to increase an additional 218,000 liters per day. Humanitarian Hubs The CCCM Cluster is in the process of establishing humanitarian hubs in UNMISS compounds in, Malakal and Bor. The humanitarian hubs are located within the UNMISS compounds and serve as secure office and accommodation space for humanitarian staff. Mobile hubs Mobile hubs A team from International Humanitarian Partnership (IHP) has arrived in Juba to support the deployment of the mobile hubs to both Koch (Unity) and Melut (Upper Nile). Malakal Generators have been installed at the site and the installation of ablution blocks are nearing completion. There are currently over 200 humanitarian actors occupying the hub and the demand for space is greater than the capacity of the site. UN House (PoC 3) The relocation of IDPs from Tongping to the new PoC site continues with more than 3,500 individuals having been transported. Site preparation is nearing completion and the installation of humanitarian facilities is ongoing. UNITY UPPER NILE Displacement Tracking Data gathering for the Round IV of DTM is on-going and nearing completion. The fourth round exercise will expand in geographical reach and partnership coverage.

4 WATER, SANITATION AND HYGIENE IOM is the Upper Nile focal point for water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) assistance covering Malakal, Melut, Wau Shiluk and Rom. Emergency WASH response in Upper Nile State As WASH state focal point, IOM continues to lead the coordination of cholera response in partnership with the Health Cluster. SHELTER AND NON-FOOD ITEMS As lead of the Shelter and Non-Food Items (NFI) Cluster in South Sudan, IOM provides essential household items and emergency shelter materials to conflict and disaster-affected populations. IOM also manages the Shelter and NFI Core Pipeline, a mechanism to ensure that key NFIs and emergency shelter materials are prepositioned in strategic locations and ready to be deployed rapidly. Core Pipeline Malakal Cholera prevention campaigns were carried out in the new PoC. The campaign was highly appreciated by the IDP community as it used songs and short skits as creative and engaging methods to communicate cholera prevention messages. IOM is also supporting the cholera response activities outside the PoC by providing daily transportation of 10,000 litres of treated water from the PoC water treatment to the Malakal teaching hospital. In addition, IOM has also installed a 10,000 litre bladder at the teaching hospital to improve access to safe water. - Unity Delivery of NFIs for 2,000 households Completed Mingkaman - Lakes Delivery of 2,400 bamboo bundles Completed 15 litres water available per person per day 41 individuals per latrine PoC IOM has deployed a WASH team to augment the WASH response at the PoC site. IOM is constructing 44 additional latrines in addition to 93 latrines already completed. The Ratio of latrines per person in PoC 4 stands at 217 persons per latrine. Melut PoC 25 litres water available per person per day 32 individuals per latrine Mundri - Western Equatoria Delivery of 1,500 NFI Kits Completed Juba (PoC3) Delivery of 3,750 shelter materials at POC3 Ongoing IOM Frontline Response 44,563 households provided with Shelter and NFI assistance in 36 distributions across the country since January 2014 As of 19 July, Crisis Response Plan (CRP) partners reached 126,486 households with NFI, and 42,168 households with emergency shelter. 4

5 HEALTH IOM is the main primary health Care actor in Malakal and PoCs providing clinical assistance to IDPs, returnees and host communities. IOM extended mobile health services to the South Sudan-Sudan border area of Wonthou. IOM clinics provide curative consultations, health education sessions, routine immunization for children under five and maternal health care. Top morbidities for all sites continue to be upper respiratory tract infections, malaria and diarrheal diseases. 1,501 people received consultations and treatment this week at IOM clinics in Malakal PoC and PoC UPPER NILE JONGLEI Upper Respiratory Tract Infections Lower Respiratory Tract Infections Watery Diarrhoea Malaria Bloody Diarrhoea 644 Consultations 20% 12% 9% 8% 2% UNITY Respiratory Tract Infections Malaria Accidental Trauma Skin Infections Worms 857 Consultations 33% 17% 9% 6% 5% PoC A total of 507 IDPs benefited from health education focusing on cholera and other waterborne diseases this week. A focus was placed on interventions for children under 5 years; 195 underwent medical consolations and 145 children were vaccinated. Distribution of long lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs) has been incorporated into the immunization/ antenatal care (ANC) programme and 61 LLINs were distributed during this reporting period. Health promoters have been active and visited 644 households to raise awareness to issues of cholera and general safe health practices. Hygiene Promotion This week saw the start of a Hygiene Promotion Response Plan that will raise awareness and promote good hygiene practices through culturally accepted methods. In Malakal, IOM recruited, trained and dispatched two Hygiene Promoters (HPs) to help increase hygiene awareness in emergencies. Additionally, IOM provided training to six hygiene promotion supervisors and community mobilizers from the WASH sector in Upper Nile State. Garbage, drainage and latrine caretakers were recruited and provided with necessary equipment and skills to keep latrines and drainage systems clean. A similar strategy was deployed in. 44 hygiene promoters received training and are currently working in PoC 4 where IOM is implementing WASH programming. In order to increase awareness of safe hygiene practices that can help to prevent the spread of cholera, IOM partnered with local musicians to help engage community members. 5

6 REFUGEE RESPONSE As lead provider of WASH response at the Doro camp, IOM continues to meet the needs of the camp s refugee population. All key water, hygiene and sanitation indicators are above the minimum standards. However, there remains a need to maintain these standards to prevent the outbreak and spread of waterborne diseases amongst the refugee population and surrounding host communities during the course of the rainy season. WASH Standards at the Doro camp 21 litres water availability per person per day 14 individuals per latrine 22 individuals per bathing facility 144 active community level hygiene promoters COMMON TRANSPORT SERVICE The IOM-operated Common Transport Service (CTS), a free service for transporting humanitarian supplies in South Sudan, is helping partners to deliver aid across the country.
