own water from the river, which is chlorinated by IOM when they return. As of 24 January, 308 latrines are operational at the camp, along with 32 bathing units. Refuse collection is becoming more frequent, with eight trucks transporting solid waste between 23 and 24 January. Hygiene promoters are conducting household visits within the camp, focusing on the prevention of waterborne disease. 1,960 households were reached with hygiene messaging in the past week. HEALTH Malakal Health assistance for IDPs in the UNMISS Malakal Protection of Civilians (PoC) area is a major concern, as the UNMISS Status of IDP registration in UN bases as of 25 January Level 2 Hospital was destroyed by shelling and emergency health partners that were initially providing support were pulled out due to the security situation. On 26 January IOM reopened a clinic on the UNMISS Malakal base, filling a gap left by the departure of the previous health partner. The clinic consists of three 20m2 prefabricated buildings, one of which is serving as a dispensary. Tents will be erected for triage and waiting areas. IOM currently has two medical assistants, two nurses and one pharmacist on the ground in Malakal. Sixty consultations were conducted on the clinic’s first day of operations. Medical staff have been speaking with community leaders to inform them about the opening of the clinic. IOM and partners are working on a mass measles vaccination campaign, set to begin as soon as a reliable cold chain can be re-established in Malakal.

Consultations began on 23 January, and in the first two days the IOM clinic saw 118 patients. Cases of watery and bloody diarrhea were the most commonly reported problems, along with malaria. CAMP COORDINATION AND CAMP MANAGEMENT The Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Cluster coordinates and monitors the targeted and effective delivery of sector-specific services in displacement sites, thereby ensuring that basic humanitarian living conditions are maintained for IDPs, while also building the foundations for voluntary return and recovery interventions where it is possible and safe to do so. IOM and UNHCR colead the CCCM Cluster, in coordination with ACTED. Wau 699 Aweil 18 Total 93,679 IDPs are being registered as they arrive in Wau. No new arrivals have been reported as of 23 January. Registration is ongoing in Aweil as needed. Insecurity and over-congestion remain the major challenges faced at IDP sites in the country. The population remains highly fluid as a result of ongoing instability. Strengthening of mechanisms to promote law and order within IDP sites is essential. IOM South Sudan Situation Report – 27 January 2014 2
IOM is leading the registration of IDPs in accessible and prioritized IDP sites. To date, 93,679 displaced persons have been registered across the country. As of 27 January, a total of 1,300 newly arrived IDPs and Third Country Nationals have been relocated from the UN Tomping base to UN House by IOM. Approximately 76% of the individuals moved were foreign nationals. Further movements are on hold due to lack of space at UN House. Occupancy Ratio Calculation in IDP sites Location UNMISS Tomping 2.9 UNMISS Juba 3 (UN House) UNMISS Bor 4.3 UNMISS Malakal 2.2 UNMISS Bentiu 16.2 Occupancy Ratio (square meters per person) Currently under assessment EMERGENCY SHELTER AND NON-FOOD ITEMS As lead of the Emergency Shelter and Non-Food Item (ES/NFI) Cluster in South Sudan, IOM provides essential household items and emergency shelter materials to conflictand disaster-affected populations as well as returnees. 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. Since the onset of the crisis, 164,055 individuals have benefitted from NFIs – including blankets, buckets, sleeping mats, jerry cans, kitchen utensils, cotton fabric, mosquito nets and soap – delivered by IOM and partners. REFUGEE RESPONSE Doro Camp WASH Response As lead provider of WASH assistance in Maban County’s Doro Camp, IOM is continuing to meet the needs of the camp’s refugee population. All key water, hygiene and sanitation minimum requirements are satisfied in the camp. Due to the ongoing crisis in the country, replenishment of fuel supplies has proven to be a challenge in Maban. Maban WASH partners, in consultation with community leaders, decided last week to reduce the hours of water supply in order to save fuel. After several days of monitoring, however, there has been no significant decline in water delivery, as the valves are being closed during off-peak hours. WASH Interventions in Doro Camp Population: 47,424 (as of 18 January) • 31 functional water points as of 24 January (13 hand pumps, 18 pumping stations) • 27 liters water per person/per day as of 24 January • 3,168 functional latrines as of 24 January (1 latrine : 15 persons) • 144 Hygiene Promoters as of 24 January 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. Since 15 December, 47 users have utilized CTS capacity to move approximately 860 metric tons. IOM is one of the few providers of transportation assistance for humanitarian actors in the country.
