Movement restrictions due to insecurity and seasonal conditions.

Food Security

IPC Phase 3–4

Emergency-level conditions likely in flooded or isolated counties.

Health & Nutrition

Stressed

Continued disease outbreaks and malnutrition hotspots in several states.

Displacement Indicators

Overview of internal displacement, cross-border movements, and return trends.

IDP Movements

Increased IDP concentrations observed around state capitals and protection sites.

Return Trends

Small-scale spontaneous returns reported in pockets of Unity and Eastern Equatoria.

Cross-Border Movement

Movement into Sudan and Ethiopia fluctuates due to border insecurity and pressure.

Access Conditions

An intelligence-style summary of humanitarian access constraints.

Insecurity

Persistent insecurity affecting movement on Jonglei–Upper Nile and Warrap corridors.

Seasonal Factors

Operational Constraints

Delays in access clearances and bureaucratic processes in selected states.

Humanitarian Sector Snapshots

Quick-read indicators for essential humanitarian sectors.

Food Security

Increasing pressure due to reduced harvest yields and restricted market flows.

Health

Outbreak monitoring ongoing; expanded case loads in flood-affected counties.

Nutrition

Critical hotspots observed, especially among displaced populations.

WASH

Water contamination increasing risks of disease in crowded displacement sites.

Protection

Heightened vulnerability among IDPs, especially women and children.
