Key takeaway It is now under national authority management.
The Malakal Protection of Civilians site, which opened in 2013, has closed as a UN site. It is now under national authority management. Despite the closure, the site still hosts a large number of internally displaced people.
These individuals have been living in displacement for nearly a decade, having fled conflict in the area. The site continues to face challenges, including limited access to basic services and episodes of insecurity. Further information on the situation is available from ReliefWeb, including details on the number of individuals and households at the site.
