Highlights
A total of 134 missing, separated, or unaccompanied children have been registered as part of family tracing and reunification efforts.
On 15 July education activities resumed under trees for 250 displaced children in Tomping, facilitated by the distribution of school-in-a-box and early childhood development kits.
The distribution of water, previously highlighted as a critical concern, continues unhindered to UN House and Tomping.
UNICEF urgently requires US$ 5.3 million to provide immediate and life-saving interventions to the displaced and affected children, women and other vulnerable people in Juba.
Humanitarian Overview
The situation in Juba remains quiet as of July 15, and internally displaced persons (IDPs), who numbered an estimated 42,000 at the height of the crisis, are making the most of the ceasefire and choosing to return to their homes. Currently, OCHA estimates that some 8,000 people remain displace in Juba, including 4,300 in UNMISS sites.
The most immediate needs identified include the continued provision of water to displaced populations, family tracing and reunification for missing separated and unaccompanied children.
Humanitarian Response
UNICEF continues to support the response through two multi-sectoral teams doing direct implementation of the response, supporting partners, and conducting assessments in IDP sites. On July 15, for the third day,
UNICEF teams were able to visit different IDP sites following the cessation of hostilities. The different clusters are actively facilitating coordination to avoid duplication of activities.
