The International Organization for Migration estimates that about 12,800 people still did not return to their homes in urban areas of Juba affected by violence fearing renewed violence.
IOM reported on Friday that it has given blankets, sleeping mats and mosquito nets to 1,200 families at the UN’s Tomping site on Wednesday and Thursday.
Humanitarian access to affected people has improved dramatically since Monday, but can only be sustained if the ceasefire holds, says John McCue, IOM’s Head of Operations in the country.
He adds that in partnership with Nile Hope, IOM also distributed soaps, buckets and water containers.
The Country director says IOM helped the UN Mission in South Sudan to construct additional latrines and brought 36 thousand litres of drinking water to the site.
He adds that their medical team set up a temporary clinic at the UNMISS Tongping base on July 13 to conduct health consultations, provide maternal care and vaccinate children.
The official says their teams also delivered 350 kilograms of medicines and health supplies to the ADRA compound.
