Conflict has led to the displacement of over 420,800 people in the area between January and May. Jonglei State has been the most affected. The displacement and insecurity are putting a strain on local services, including health, education, and protection.

Public health emergencies are also a concern, with cholera being a major issue. There have been over 104,000 suspected cases and more than 1,600 deaths reported as of the end of May. Other health issues, such as measles outbreaks and a virus, are also present in the region.

Further details on the humanitarian situation are available from UNICEF's South Sudan Humanitarian Situation Report. The report provides more information on the current situation and the efforts being made to address the challenges faced by the local community.
