Protection
The International Organization for Migration’s (IOM) Protection team conducted protection needs assessments in Central Equatoria, Jonglei and Northern Bahr el Ghazal states. The assessments were triggered by the prevalence of a variety of protection related violations such as armed clashes, intercommunal/sub-national clashes or displacements due to flooding.
The assessments established key findings and service gaps which included: lack of health services, lack of shelter and non-food items (S-NFI), lack of sanitary materials, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) materials, insecurity with reported cases of conflict related sexual violence, killings, child abduction, and child recruitment by armed forces.
