Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM)
• At the protection of civilians (PoC) site adjacent to the UN Mission in South Sudan base in Wau town, the process for establishing a camp leadership structure has begun. A working meeting was held with 15 existing leaders, including seven women, to discuss the way forward.
• Internally displaced persons (IDPs) without shelter living in services areas, such as aid agencies spaces and latrine/water bladder areas, received tokens for relocation to communal shelters. Relocation is expected to be complete in the coming days.
• Displacement Tracking and Monitoring: Movement Trend Tracking (MTT) indicates continued population movement in and out of the PoC site, with a net balance of 15 more arrivals than exits. As of 3 September, 24, 356 IDPs were sheltering at the PoC site.
• An increasing number of new arrivals are indicating food assistance for their motivation for arriving at the site, which may be linked to limited humanitarian access to areas south of Wau town.
• MTT data at the Cathedral continued the trend of the previous week, with more people exiting the site (86) than entering (62).
• IOM continues to support CCCM partners at collective centers, as well as discuss approaches for strengthening communication with communities in coordination with ACTED and OCHA.
Shelter and Non-Food Items (S-NFI)
• S-NFI teams completed seven of 22 new communal shelters at the PoC site.
• 60 plastic sheets were distributed at the PoC site to provide cover for households not reached during the previous distribution.
• IOM distributed 5,460 tokens for an upcoming distribution of solar lamps at the PoC site.
Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)
• IDPs are receiving approximately 20.5 litres of safe, treated drinking water per person per day at the PoC site. Teams have begun drilling two boreholes to ensure continued distribution of clean water.
• IOM and local communities have rehabilitated 18 boreholes in Wau South municipality since early August. Teams also conducted 15 hygiene promotion sessions on good health and hygiene practices.
• Restricted access in some areas south of Wau has delayed repairs to broken hand-pumps, which are relied upon for access to water.
Health
• Malaria was the top morbidity during the reporting period, representing 64% of all health consultations at IOM’s three primary health care clinics at the South Sudan Red Cross, Cathedral and Nazareth.
