HIGHLIGHTS
A total of 94,693 refugees have fled South Sudan since 8 July, including 78,017 into Uganda. New arrivals from South Sudan report ongoing violence against civilians, looting, forced recruitment and rape, as well as armed actors preventing others from leaving the country.
Seasonal rains are hampering response efforts in multiple locations. In Ethiopia, the roads between Gambella and the entry points remain cut off. In Sudan, the rain is impacting on access and site development in certain areas in White Nile state and East Darfur State.
UNHCR continues to provide assistance to IDPs and refugees in Juba and throughout South Sudan.
