Highlights
UNICEF delivered 720,000 litres of water to UN House and along with partners approximately achieved SPHERE standard of 15/l/p/d for the first time since the start of the Juba crisis.
13 new suspected cases of cholera reported in Juba on 17 July, increasing the number of people being treated in Juba Teaching Hospital to 33.
Humanitarian Overview
Although the ceasefire continues to hold, there have reportedly been new arrivals of internally displaced persons in the UNMISS sites of UN House and Tomping, which are currently hosting about 80% of the 12,800 IDPs who remain displaced as a result of the outbreak of violence in Juba on July 8. A recent article published by UNICEF provides insight into the life of these IDPs, available here.
Humanitarian Response
On July 17, coordination between various actors continues in order to maximize the effectiveness of the response. The Nutrition and WASH Clusters have conducted a mapping of partner coverage in light on the number of agencies that have evacuated staff from South Sudan. Notably, the Health and WASH clusters, along with the Ministry of Health, UNICEF, WHO, SSRC, and Medair, are supporting and monitoring the cholera response closely.
