Reports

  Clashes between pastoralists and farmers in Kuarjena and Rocrocdong, Jur River  broke out in early March 2019 which led to displacement within Ju River and beyond, as already reported on 15 March 2019 (link).  Due to continued fighting, 2,815 individuals decided to flee further, reaching Wau PoC AA and Masna collective centre since 24 March 2019. New arrivals will be registered by IOM DTM in the coming week to facilitate access to services. 

Clashes between government (SSPDF) and opposition forces have led to ongoing displacement in areas of Yei County. DTM observed a total of 26,454 IDPs and 213 returnees in Lasu and Mugwo, sub-areas of Yei County as of 4 April 2019. IDPs were displaced from surrounding villages of Lasu and Mugwo, since early March 2019 but also include South Sudanese coming from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Many are staying in damaged, empty tukuls or schools / churches and find themselves far away from public services. The main needs reported concern food, WASH and shelter. 

Population by Zone and block, Wau PoC AA (March 2019): 14,226 individuals Wau Town features one PoC site and five collective centres in which IOM DTM conducts monthly headcounts to monitor changing population dynamics and displacement trends. In March 2019, the monthly count was held in Wau PoC AA site, as well as Cathedral, Nazareth, St. Joseph, Lokoloko and Masna collective centres. Throughout 2018 until February 2019, a steady decline in the Wau PoC AA site population was observed. On March 2019 a slight increment was observed due to conflict-induced movement from Jur River (Rocrodong and Kuarjena). Between February and March 2019, Wau PoC AA site’s population increased by four per cent (596 individuals).

As per the March 2019 headcount, the population stands at 100,441 individuals The Bentiu Protection of Civilian (PoC) site was established in December 2013. As of March 2019, 159,175 beneficiaries remained registered in the site. However, recognizing that there have been significant population changes since the last biometric registration, IOM DTM conducts monthly headcounts to monitor population dynamics and displacement trends.
