The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs or OCHA reported 390 access incidents which affected work between January and June across the country.
The Office in its ‘2018 first half Humanitarian Access Review’, says 51 percent of events were violence: 122 were against personnel and 78 against organizational assets.
OCHA says operational interference, restrictions of movement and bureaucratic administrative obstacles accounted for 38 percent of all incidents.
It points out that Unity States recorded 25 percent and 21 in Central Equatoria States, largely violence against personnel, assets and working intrusion.
The office reports that ten staff members were killed in separate incidents in Unity and Central Equatoria States, resulting to 107 aid workers killed since the crisis started.
Growing insecurity in the Equatoria States has reduced humanitarian space and safe access for partners outside of Yei and Yambio, to Kajo-Keji and Mundri.
Government security forces continuously restricted the movement of humanitarians outside of Wau, which affected access to an estimated 40,000 people.
The deterioration of the security situation in Central Unity forced widespread relocations of staff and suspension of operations from April to June.
Worsening interference in works across Upper Nile States greatly affected access and response to people in need.
