NGOs have reported population movements from Bentiu, Pariang and Mayom to the rural areas of Nhialdhiu, Rumnagai and Dorkhan due to ongoing insecurity, OLS said. It said the evacuation of humanitarian personnel from locations in Unity State had resulted in the suspension of all but the most critical humanitarian interventions such as supplementary feeding for malnourished children. The report said that WFP could not access some 30,000 beneficiaries targeted for monthly food rations. A further 1,200 malnourished children in selective feeding centres in Mayom, Ru-Kona and Bentiu faced food shortages when WFP stocks in the centres ran out.
Meanwhile NGOs in Kosti reported the arrival of newly-displaced persons in Gos e Salam camp. OLS said that while the majority of new arrivals were displaced from Melut province in Upper Nile State, a significant number were said to have arrived from Unity State.
