The latest numbers from the United Nations humanitarian agency (OCHA), says the number of people reported displaced by the current crisis in South Sudan has risen to 180,000, including 75,000 sheltering in UN peacekeeping bases.
UNMISS has turned over the management of the camps to its humanitarian partners to provide health services, food, water, shelter and sanitation for people sheltered in them.
With more and more people coming every day seeking protection, more space in the camp has become a priority.
All those registered are receiving food and non-food assistance as well as medical care around the clock. Over 40 babies were born in the camp since the fighting started.

"We are quite optimist that we can try to increase the level of assistance we would like to achieve according to the standards that’s really good for their health, for the risk that we might reduce. So I’m quite optimist about that.”
Aid agencies have reached an estimated 106,000 displaced people so far with assistance including food, water and sanitation and health care, both inside and outside the UN peacekeeping bases.
They have delivered high-energy biscuits to children and are working on establishing malnutrition screening and treatment centres in Juba. Thousands of children under 15-years of age will receive measles and polio vaccines at the peacekeeping base in Tomping, Juba.
Aid organizations have appealed for a total of $209 million to provide immediate assistance to families affected by the current crisis over the next three months. They have received $43 million of the funding so far and still require $166 million.
