“They don’t have water; they don’t have food; they don’t have social amenities; and they are dependants of the hosting community. For food, they are buying or begging which needs to be addressed. So what we need to do is discuss with the humanitarian actors in this country, our counterparts in the UN system, the UN agencies, to see how they can come in and address the situation.”

The United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) said some 1,800 people displaced from their homes in the Kajo Keji region were in serious need of assistance as over-reliance on the host community could lead to strife.
In a joint convoy, assessment teams from UNMISS and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD)'s ceasefire monitoring mechanism (CTSAMM) recently visited the make shift camp where internally displaced people (IDPs) are living freely among the host community. UNMISS expected the number of IDPs to rise as tensions in their towns were increasing and fighting in the area continued.
This 34 year-old widowed mother has been living out in the open with difficulty for the past two months. She fled with her four children last August.

“Our crops were looted and women were raped. If they found the husband was around they killed him. Sometimes they burn people in the house, including children.”
With resources already scarce, the teams on patrol expressed their concerns that overreliance of the displaced on the host community could trigger a conflict. The lack of humanitarian assistance and a persistent drought was affecting livelihoods.
