Conflict in Jonglei State
Flash Update 3
About
On 6 March, the South Sudan People’s Defence Forces (SSPDF) ordered UNMISS to withdraw from Akobo County within 72 hours and advised UN agencies, NGOs, and civilians to relocate, raising serious concerns for access and the safety of civilians. Many people already several times displaced have had to flee again, with estimates of up to 100,000 crossing into Ethiopia or moving towards Nyirol, Uror, and the Sobat corridor. Overall, conflict, disease, displacement, and limited access are compounding humanitarian needs across Jonglei, while funding gaps continue to constrain response efforts.
