Uganda

End of June Update

Overview

Violence and food insecurity continues to force South

Sudanese out of their homes. Since the start of the crisis,

around 1.5 million people have been displaced from

their homes, including 392,800 people who have fled to

neighboring countries such as Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia.

In light of this, humanitarian partners revised South Su-dan Crisis Response Plan (CRP) with the expectation that the current crisis will affect more than one in two South Sudanese by December 2014.

In light of this situation, the humanitarian emergency response effort is aiming to achieve three immediate goals—save lives, prevent famine; and avert the loss of a generation. However, the current response faces two major challenges—funding deficit and poor access to affected population. So far only 41% of the required fund 2014 are secured to run operation until December 2014. The operation will thus focus on the most pressing needs. Furthermore, logistical operations are very ex-pensive due to poor road access and are likely to require the larger share of already limited funding.
