| Hintergrund | Six years after the signing of the revitalized peace agreement in South Sudan, 9.3 Mio people require some form of humanitarian assistance, out of whom 5.4 Mio (according to HNRP 2025) face critical humanitarian conditions. The humanitarian crisis has persisted due to a combination of sporadic armed clashes and intercommunal violence, food insecurity, public health challenges and climatic shocks. These factors have severely affected people’s livelihoods and hampered access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), education and health services. Since 2023, the economic crisis, the conflict in neighbouring Sudan and widespread flooding have deepened people’s needs. Protection concerns remain high, especially for women and girls. |
