<strong>Lessons</strong> <strong>Learned</strong> <strong>from</strong> <strong>South</strong> <strong>Sudan</strong> <strong>Protection</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Civilian</strong> <strong>Sites</strong> - 73<br />
Conclusion<br />
All actors need to learn <strong>from</strong> the past and plan for the future.<br />
UNMISS and humanitarians have come together and assisted<br />
over 200,000 individuals within PoC sites. The sites are less than<br />
ideal, full <strong>of</strong> tribulations and a source <strong>of</strong> constant friction between<br />
humanitarians, IDPs and UNMISS.<br />
Sacrifices have been made by UNMISS personnel to defend PoC<br />
sites <strong>from</strong> external threats and numerous humanitarians have been<br />
assaulted inside the sites; there is a common experience that exists<br />
and which has taken a toll, especially on IDPs.<br />
UNMISS is mandated by the UN Security Council to protect civilians,<br />
and humanitarians are mandated to save lives in a conflict—there<br />
is no end to saving lives in <strong>South</strong> <strong>Sudan</strong>, and, for now, PoC sites<br />
need to be prioritized as an essential part <strong>of</strong> an overall strategy <strong>of</strong><br />
saving lives in <strong>South</strong> <strong>Sudan</strong>.
