The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has appealed for SSP 190 billion ($191 million) to meet the needs of South Sudanese IDPs and returnees.

The IOM said the funds will also be used to support migrants and host communities affected by war and natural calamities. 

The organization added that the effort is meant to champion for multispectral initiatives that combine humanitarian assistance with development-oriented and conflict-sensitive programming whilst leveraging its multi-sectoral capacity and with partners.

“IOM’s humanitarian response will be informed by contextual analyses that promote a strong focus on social cohesion for returnees, internally displaced and host communities, thereby contributing to peacebuilding and the linkages between humanitarian and development programmes,” the organization said in a statement seen by City Review. 

It further promised concerted efforts towards health, water, sanitation, and hygiene responses, as well as mental health and psychosocial responses for vulnerable people.

South Sudan, the world’s youngest nation, continues to grapple with a serious humanitarian crisis made worse by continued violent conflicts and climatic shocks.

More than four million people remain displaced, 2.5 million internally and 2.2 million having moved to neighbouring countries as refugees.

“IOM will also continue to provide essential core services such as health, water, sanitation, and hygiene response and the provision of mental health and psychosocial support while protection and safeguarding beneficiaries remain the cornerstones. 

The outbreak of fighting in Sudan on April 15, 2023, has worsened the already bad humanitarian situation in South Sudan, with more desperate persons affected by the war, fleeing to neighboring countries, including South Sudan.

More than 148,000 individuals, 93 per cent of whom are South Sudanese nationals, have arrived in South Sudan as of 30 June 2023, claimed IOM.

The organisation, however, did not disclose exactly how many people they target in the planned humanitarian support, should they get the much needed fund. By Mamer Abraham, The City Review
